Clinical Trial Summary

High-quality respectful care around the time of childbirth is a fundamental aspect of human rights and, according to recent global estimates, could prevent more than 100,000 maternal deaths and 1.3 million neonatal deaths annually. Despite some maternal and newborn health indicators in high-income countries being better in comparison to low-income and middle-income countries, existing evidence shows that improvements are needed in the quality of care provided to women and newborns in every country. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed a framework and a list of Standards for improving the quality of maternal and newborn care (QMNC). The WHO Standards define a set of 318 Quality Measures, divided into three key domains - experience of care, provision of care and availability of resources - which can be used to assess the QMNC at facility level. The ongoing project, named IMAgiNE (Improving MAternal Newborn carE), includes all maternities hospitals of the FVG Region and aimed at improving the quality of maternal and neonatal health care in the region. Quality of care is assessed using two complementary perspectives (women and health workers), with two validated questionnaires including about 100 quality measures based on the WHO Standards. It provides data on both the baseline assessment and the Quality Improvement component (progresses made).
