Ten Years. One Mission. Measurable Results.
Inside: assessment data across 18 modules, post-course clinician feedback, and a breakdown of competency gaps by condition — including obstetric hypertension, sepsis, and postpartum hemorrhage.
For ten years, Quality OB has equipped healthcare teams with evidence-based perinatal education built to reduce adverse events, improve outcomes, and ensure regulatory compliance. This report analyzes clinician assessments across 18 modules — and the post-course feedback that followed — to show how Quality OB measurably closes the competency gaps most tied to preventable maternal and neonatal harm.
For nursing, medical, and operational leaders, these findings show exactly where competency gaps put patients at risk — and why 185+ organizations trust Quality OB to close them.
“Any time you have a review of education it helps you be more astute at watching for things that may be problems. I really thought this learning module was very well done and made understanding easier.”

Key Findings: What the Data Shows
- Up to 14% competency gains where they matter most. Pre-training scores as low as 49.5% in obstetric hypertension and 62.0% in sepsis — the conditions frequently tied to preventable maternal death. Quality OB closes those gaps by up to 14%.
- Quality OB changes how clinicians practice, not just what they know. Sepsis module reflections reveal that following course completion, clinicians demonstrate sharper vigilance, more consistent use of screening tools, and stronger patient advocacy at the bedside.
- Precise assessment data turns competency gaps into targeted development plans. Assessment data pinpoints individual gaps across all clinical expertise levels — giving educators the insight to build targeted development plans
- Commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in product development. When psychometric data and customer feedback revealed clinicians had out paced the EFM curriculum, Quality OB responded by rebuilding four modules from the ground up.
- Learners validate the clinical relevance of Quality OB. Across ~30,000 post-course surveys, 80% agree the course meets their educational needs and 82% agree the content is current, accurate, and evidence-based.
Top Trends: What Leaders Should Act On
- Investing in perinatal education closes the competency gaps that put patients at greatest risk. The lowest pre-test scores align directly with the highest-risk conditions — and where Quality OB training delivers its greatest gains. This is the outcome of the right investment.
- Emergency department clinicians are being overlooked in perinatal education. ED clinicians managing obstetric emergencies are among the least prepared — and the least likely to be reached by L&D-focused programs. The fix is straightforward: standardized perinatal education that extends beyond labor and delivery.
- Protocol knowledge is not translating to clinical preparedness. Despite postpartum hemorrhage being one of the most protocol-rich areas in obstetrics, pre-test scores of 52.7% show that protocol knowledge isn’t translating to clinical readiness. The gap between knowing a protocol and executing it under pressure comes down to depth of preparation — and the leaders willing to prioritize it.
- Maternal outcomes are under a microscope. Regulators, accreditors, and patients expect more. The organizations already closing these gaps aren’t waiting. Download the report to see what ten years of assessment data reveals — and where your team stands.
