Perinatal Quality Collaboratives (PQCs) are state or multi-state networks of multidisciplinary teams working to improve maternal and infant healthcare and outcomes statewide using quality improvement methods. PQCs work with hospitals, healthcare providers, and community members to improve the safety and quality of maternity care, often leveraging information from their state's Maternal Mortality Review Commission to inform the work. Speakers will address PQC work in more detail, as well as addressing examples and strategies for rural hospitals and their state's PQC to work together effectively.
