PA PQC Learning Session - December 14, 2022

December 14, 2022

The PA PQC healthcare teams are looking for ways to involve community based organizations in their work. We will present to the participants examples of how local community doulas and other perinatal health workers are connecting with hospitals to improve patient outcomes, especially where race and ethnicity are involved. We are also presenting the recent data from statewide information to emphasize again the reasons why the PA PQC is working on the specific initiatives. The hospitals are also asking how they can respond to the race and ethnicity data that they are producing and use this data to create QI projects to address health equity.
