Childbirth Connection hosted a 90th Anniversary national policy symposium, Transforming Maternity Care: A High Value Proposition, on April 3, 2009, in Washington, DC. Over 100 leaders from across the range of stakeholder perspectives were actively engaged in the symposium work to improve the quality and value of U.S. maternity care through broad system improvement. A multi-disciplinary symposium steering committee guided the strategy from its inception and contributed to every phase of the project. The "Blueprint for Action: Steps Toward a High Quality, High Value Maternity Care System", issued by the Transforming Maternity Care Symposium Steering Committee, answers the fundamental question, "Who needs to do what, to, for, and with whom to improve the quality of maternity care over the next five years?" Five stakeholder workgroups collaborated to propose actionable strategies in 11 critical focus areas for moving expeditiously toward the realization of the long term "2020 Vision for a High Quality, High Value Maternity Care System", also published in this issue. Following the symposium these workgroup reports and recommendations were synthesized into the current blueprint. For each critical focus area, the "Blueprint for Action" presents a brief problem statement, a set of system goals for improvement in that area, and major recommendations with proposed action steps to achieve them. This process created a clear sightline to action that if enacted could improve the structure, process, experiences of care, and outcomes of the maternity care system in ways that when anchored in the culture can indeed transform maternity care.
2009 年 4 月 3 日，Childbirth Connection 在华盛顿特区举办了第 90 届周年国家政策研讨会，主题为“转型孕产照护：高附加值方案”。超过 100 名来自不同利益相关方的领导者积极参与了研讨会的工作，通过广泛的系统改进来提高美国孕产照护的质量和价值。一个多学科的研讨会指导委员会从一开始就指导了战略，并为项目的每个阶段做出了贡献。“行动计划蓝图：迈向高质量、高附加值孕产照护体系的步骤”由转型孕产照护研讨会指导委员会发布，回答了一个基本问题，“为了在未来五年内提高孕产照护的质量，谁需要做什么、对谁、为谁以及与谁合作？”五个利益相关方工作组合作，在 11 个关键重点领域提出了可操作的策略，以迅速推进实现长期的“2020 年高质量、高附加值孕产照护体系愿景”，该愿景也在本期发表。研讨会结束后，这些工作组的报告和建议被综合到当前的蓝图中。对于每个关键重点领域，“行动计划蓝图”提出了一个简短的问题陈述、该领域改进的一系列系统目标，以及主要建议和拟议的行动步骤来实现这些目标。这个过程为行动创造了一个清晰的前景，如果实施，将能够改善孕产照护体系的结构、流程、护理体验和结果，并且如果将其植根于文化中，确实可以改变孕产照护。
