A Collaborative to Advance California Maternity Care Through Data-Driven Quality Improvement

CMQCC...

We are devoted to eliminating preventable maternal death and injury and promoting equitable maternity care in California by bringing resources, tools, measures, and quality improvement techniques to providers, administrators, and public health leaders.  This is a long term collaborative effort of many organizations and individuals (see about us for more information) with sponsorship of the California Department of Public Health (Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program) and the California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative (CPQCC).  We are over 250 clinicians, public health leaders, key payors and representatives of the public all devoted to improving childbirth outcomes.

The Go-To Place for Maternal Quality Improvement...                      

Our site brings you current information about California maternal outcomes, the specific projects that we are tackling, annotated bibliographies of important topics, resources that we have developed or have received from other organizations, key links, and specific information that will assist your organization in performing quality improvement for maternity topics.  The site also serves as a communications tool for the many CMQCC committees that are working on state-wide projects.
