Perinatal morbidity and mortality are key indicators of a nation's health status. These measures of our nation's health are influenced by decisions made in health care facilities and by health care providers. As our health systems and health care for women and infants can be improved, there is an expectation that these measures of health will also improve. State-based perinatal quality collaboratives (PQCs) are networks of perinatal care providers including hospitals, clinicians, and public health professionals working to improve pregnancy outcomes for women and newborns through continuous quality improvement. Members of the collaborative are healthcare facilities, primarily hospitals, which identify processes of care that require improvement and then use the best available methods to effect change and improve outcomes as quickly as possible. The Division of Reproductive Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is collaborating with state-based PQCs to enhance their ability to improve perinatal care by expanding the range of neonatal and maternal health issues addressed and including higher proportions of participating hospitals in their state PQC. The work of PQCs is cross-cutting and demonstrates how partnerships can act to translate evidence-based science to clinical care.
围产儿发病率和死亡率是一个国家健康状况的关键指标。这些衡量我们国家健康的指标受到医疗机构和医疗保健提供者所做决策的影响。随着我们的医疗保健系统和妇女及婴儿医疗保健的改善，预计这些健康指标也将得到改善。基于州的围产期质量合作组织（PQCs）是围产期护理提供者的网络，包括医院、临床医生和公共卫生专业人员，通过持续质量改进来改善妇女和新生儿的妊娠结局。合作组织的成员是医疗机构，主要是医院，这些机构确定需要改进的护理流程，然后使用最可用的方法尽快实施变革和改善结果。疾病预防控制中心生殖健康司正在与基于州的 PQC 合作，通过扩大所涉及的新生儿和产妇健康问题的范围，并让更多比例的参与医院加入其所在州的 PQC，来提高 PQC 改善围产期护理的能力。PQCs 的工作具有跨领域性，展示了伙伴关系如何能够将循证科学转化为临床护理。
