To improve obstetric outcomes

What is a Perinatal Risk Assessment?

A perinatal risk assessment is a critical tool to identify and mitigate risks associated with obstetric care. This process involves evaluating perinatal services against evidence-based guidelines and national standards. By uncovering existing hazards and risks, we help organizations pinpoint areas for improvement and develop comprehensive action plans to enhance safety and quality.

Perinatal Quality Consultants (PQC) work in partnership with your healthcare team to evaluate the perinatal services provided at your hospital or healthcare system. Our goal is to identify risks and opportunities to enhance the quality and safety of care for pregnant and postpartum individuals.

With increasing rates of severe maternal morbidity, pregnancy-related deaths and significant racial and ethnic disparities in maternal health, comprehensive obstetric safety programs are crucial to preventing these outcomes. By standardizing care, improving teamwork, and proactively assessing the care provided, we aim to:

• Enhance patient outcomes

• Improve care standards

• Reduce risks and costs

Our expert, external perinatal risk assessments offer both quantitative and qualitative insights into organizational opportunities for improvement. We are dedicated to supporting, energizing, and advancing your efforts to enhance perinatal patient safety.

In addition to risk assessments, Perinatal Quality Consultants provides a range of consulting services tailored to your organization’s needs. Our consultants deliver innovative, evidence-based solutions designed to improve perinatal outcomes.
