Perinatal Quality Collaborative

A Perinatal Quality Collaborative (PQC) is a group of healthcare providers and organizations that work together to improve the care and outcomes for mothers and newborns during pregnancy, childbirth, and the immediate postpartum period. They analyze data, share best practices, and implement evidence-based improvements to reduce complications like preterm birth, birth injuries, and neonatal infections. The goal is to ensure safer, more consistent, and higher-quality care across hospitals and clinics, ultimately leading to healthier mothers and babies. PQCs foster collaboration and continuous learning to advance perinatal health outcomes systematically.
