围产期发病率和死亡率是衡量一个国家健康状况的关键指标。这些衡量我国健康的指标受到卫生保健机构和卫生保健提供者所做决定的影响。随着我们的卫生系统和对妇女和婴儿的卫生保健能够得到改善，人们期望这些卫生措施也将得到改善。以州为基础的围产期质量协作(PQC)是包括医院、临床医生和公共卫生专业人员在内的围产期护理提供者的网络，致力于通过持续的质量改进来改善妇女和新生儿的妊娠结局。协作组的成员是医疗机构，主要是医院，他们识别需要改进的护理流程，然后使用最好的可用方法来尽快实现变化和改善结果。疾病控制和预防中心生殖健康司正在与设在州的初级保健中心合作，通过扩大解决的新生儿和产妇健康问题的范围，并将更多的参与医院纳入其州初级保健中心，提高其改善围产期保健的能力。PQC的工作是交叉的，并展示了伙伴关系如何能够将循证科学转化为临床护理。
Perinatal morbidity and mortality are key indicators of a nation's health status. These measures of our nation's health are influenced by decisions made in health care facilities and by health care providers. As our health systems and health care for women and infants can be improved, there is an expectation that these measures of health will also improve. State-based perinatal quality collaboratives (PQCs) are networks of perinatal care providers including hospitals, clinicians, and public health professionals working to improve pregnancy outcomes for women and newborns through continuous quality improvement. Members of the collaborative are healthcare facilities, primarily hospitals, which identify processes of care that require improvement and then use the best available methods to effect change and improve outcomes as quickly as possible. The Division of Reproductive Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is collaborating with state-based PQCs to enhance their ability to improve perinatal care by expanding the range of neonatal and maternal health issues addressed and including higher proportions of participating hospitals in their state PQC. The work of PQCs is cross-cutting and demonstrates how partnerships can act to translate evidence-based science to clinical care.
