Emerging QI Opportunities

Reducing preventable severe maternal morbidity (SMM), and eliminating inequities in this outcome, is a top national priority. Many hospitals in Michigan are leading quality improvement (QI) efforts to reduce SMM, but may lack timely data to inform, motivate, and evaluate these QI efforts. This webinar will review OBI analytics on SMM, with a goal of helping member hospitals identify key QI opportunities. 

A recording of the live OBI 2024 Webinar Series lecture, Emerging QI Opportunities, held on September 12, 2024.
