Overview
The Kentucky Perinatal Quality Collaborative (KyPQC) and the Kentucky Maternal Morbidity and Mortality (KyMMM) Task Force are hosting a joint Kentucky Symposium for Maternal and Infant Outcomes. Day one of this Symposium will be dedicating to the 2024 KyPQC 6th Annual Meeting and day two will feature the 2024 KyMMM Task Force Inaugural Meeting.
The KyPQC is a state-level organization comprising perinatal care stakeholders working together to improve perinatal health and outcomes. KyPQC's activities include developing and implementing data-driven quality improvement initiatives with Kentucky birthing hospitals, providing educational webinars, disseminating news and resources from the KyPQC and partner organizations, and hosting an annual meeting.
The KYMMM Task Force is a new grant-sponsored inclusive work group also aiming to lower maternal mortality and morbidity. This Task Force reaches out to community stakeholders in addition to birthing hospitals and providers. The Task Force supports evidence-based initiatives, responds to the recommendations of the Ky Maternal Mortality Review Committee, works to address Social Determinants of Health, and also supports an annual meeting.
The purpose of the Kentucky Symposium for Maternal and Infant Outcomes is to provide cross-disciplinary educational content to support stakeholders and partners dedicated to improving the quality of care during pregnancy, delivery, and 12 months post-pregnancy. The target audience is perinatal medical care providers, social service providers, administrators, payers, quality managers, researchers, policymakers, community groups, and patients with lived experience. Agenda items will include the role of community health workers in perinatal care, state surveillance data from the Maternal Mortality Review Committee, health equity, persons with lived experiences, Health Access Nurturing Development Services (HANDS) program, outcomes from postpartum mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) screening initiatives, and more.
