Maternal Data Committee

Maternal Data Committee


The Maternal Data Committee (MDC) oversees identification, collection, and analysis of  data needs  for CMQCC.   The committee will coordinate this process by: 

  • prioritizing analysis requests
  •  identifying and developing projects for analysis
  • assisting and advising on analysis strategies and techniques as needed
  •  making recommendations to other groups and agencies regarding the reports needed.

The group is composed of professionals experienced in large dataset analysis with a special focus on maternal-infant projects, including obstetricians, nurses, nurse midwives, and public health professionals (eg. MCAH, Epi and OSHPD).
