Aspects of Quality of Clinical Care in Labor & Delivery
Stephan Brenner
Rationale• Obstetric complications intra- & postpartum
phase.
• Timely initiation & organization of EmOC ability of SBAs to detect high-risk pregnancies.
• early identification & prevention of obstetric complications routinely in every pregnancy.
Quality of Care Focus:
• Evidence-based routine care processes in L&D1. Screening for early signs of complications.
2. Monitoring for signs of complications.
3. Preparedness to timely intervene once complications occur.
Objectives
1) Early Identification of emergencies:– Screening processes Danger Signs, risk factor
assessments, APGAR, etc.– Monitoring processes partograph, early
postpartum observation
2) Prevention of emergencies:– Infection maternal/neonatal sepsis– Hemorrhage AMSTL
3) Preparedness in emergencies:– Anticipation of need for neonatal resuscitation
Methods• Observational checklists:
– Routine processes performed by providers during labor & delivery care
– Basic equipment, supplies related routine labor & delivery care
– Information on facility type
• Sampling:– Convenience samples
• Analysis:– Descriptive summary of frequencies of
performed routine processes– Composed scores
