Symposium on Quality Improvement to Prevent Prematurity October 8, 2009

This Symposium will explore the present state of quality initiatives to prevent preterm birth and develop an agenda for action to decrease the rate of those preterm births that are not inevitable or medically necessary. The Symposium will bring together a multidiscplinary group of health care practitioners, health insurers, policymakers, health purchasers, regulators and concerned citizens to discuss quality improvement as an essential component in the strategy to prevent prematurity, promote health and save costs. It will be a forum where experts and stakeholders can share ideas and challenges, describe model programs that have successfully improved the nature and quality of patient care and services targeted to prematurity prevention, and recommend quality improvement action plans.

Organized by March of Dimes in collaboration with The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Nurse-Midwives, and Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses.
