2022 Nebraska Perinatal Quality Improvement Collaborative Fall Summit

The opportunity to reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity exists in Nebraska, however, the systems in place are not always effective. There are times when obstetric care does not ensure pregnant women receive the risk-appropriate care that is specific to their health needs. Having an effective health care team can improve breastfeeding practices, management of perinatal mental health disorders, diagnosis of maternal early warning signs, and optimization of care. Perinatal stakeholders from across the state will meet in person to learn how to implement evidence-based practices and improve perinatal outcomes. 

Summit Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be better able to:

1. Describe opportunities to reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity through evidence-based and equitable health care practices including the roles of the health care team in advancing birth equity.
2. Discuss communicative approaches for breastfeeding practices when caring for illicit and prescription drug users.
3. Explain the importance of culturally-matched doula support and how to incorporate alternative birth workers in the care team including how the individual roles function as a cohesive team.
4. Discuss how to improve the management of perinatal mental health disorders.
5. Summarize how to improve the management of maternal hypertensive disorders, including the identification of maternal early warning signs and optimizing prenatal care.
