The Maryland Patient Safety Center has decided to continue to finance its Perinatal Collaborative, which was launched in 2007. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene will give $469,650 to the effort. Almost every hospital in the state participates in the Perinatal Safety Culture Collaborative.
The Collaborative's mission is to create perinatal units that provide safe care and an atmosphere in which no preventable errors will be committed. This is carried out by the following proven methods:
- Standardization of electronic fetal monitoring language
- Training in team coordination and teamwork behaviors
- Ensuring complete documentation and availability of prenatal medical records
- Assessment of safety culture
