Learn MoreThis blog post is taken from a recent webinar moderated by HealthStream’s Beth Pfeifer. The webinar featured Tanesha Riley, MS, RNC-OP, CCE and Ashley Inman, BSN, Solution Executives for HealthStream’s Child and Maternal Health Portfolio. As nurses and mothers, both Riley and Inman are personally and professionally committed to child and maternal health issues.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced additional details on the “Birthing-Friendly” Hospital Designation. The initiative is part of the Biden-Harris Call to Action to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity. The designation is intended to assist consumers in choosing hospitals that have demonstrated a commitment to maternal health through implementation of best practices that advance health care quality, safety, and equity for pregnant and postpartum patients.
Both Riley and Inman point to the now familiar, but still shocking statistics around maternal morbidity and mortality. “The United States remains in last place of all developed, high-resource countries,” said Riley. “In addition, 74% of all obstetrical claims are related to poor clinical judgement and 34% of maternal deaths and injuries are due to inadequate monitoring,” she added.
The “Birthing-Friendly” Hospital designation will put a spotlight on hospitals that are performing well on key obstetrical metrics – and those that are not. “The Biden-Harris administration, in partnership with CMS, plans to invest $3 billion in new maternal health funding as part of the Build Back Better Act,” explained Inman.
The time to act on improving key obstetrical outcomes is now. So where should hospitals start?
HealthStream’s Quality OB Program can help hospitals get ahead of this policy with a powerful data-driven program that will help maximize team-based performance in obstetrics. Each module includes a pre-assessment, a post-test and microsimulations that help clinicians develop their critical thinking skills. The program is based on an incremental, high-frequency approach to learning. The Quality OB program includes content that addresses the following six key competencies:
In addition to these six topics, there is a behavioral health bundle that will help providers address the increasing incidence of opioid abuse in the maternal population. This bundle has content that will help providers recognize and treat neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) as well as how to recognize the signs and symptoms of maternal depression and anxiety. It can also help address some of the underlying biases that may be held by providers when dealing with opioid-dependent maternity patients.
HealthStream’s learning management system and comprehensive suite of competency management tools empower your healthcare workforce to deliver the best patient care.
