Is Your Hospital on the Map?

The Florida Perinatal Quality Collaborative has increased our reach, with more and more hospitals actively engaged as leaders working to ensure perinatal care is high quality. Join our efforts!

The FPQC invites Florida delivery hospitals to participate in the new Perinatal Indicator System. Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis.

Hospitals can receive hospital-specific quarterly reports of perinatal indicators and corresponding data quality reports. There is no fee associated with this system, and no data submission required. Click here for more information.

HIP hospitals began submitting prospective data in January 2016.

HIP resources are available at the HIP project website.

We are launching our new infant health initiative this month!

The aim of this initiative is to increase the number of very low birth weight infants in Florida who receive mothers own milk at NICU discharge by focusing on intent to provide breast milk, establishing and maintaining mothers' supply, and transitioning to the breast. Visit the MOM project site for more information.

Useful materials for working on ACT are available online under "toolkits" at prematurity prevention.org

Hospitals interested in working on postpartum hemorrhage may download tools and resources at the OHI website. Hospitals actively working on OHI as part of this round two are invited to register for our webinar on June 14th at 12 PM EST to collaborate on challenges and successes, and learn more about our data self-tracking sheet.
