Mqi Information

The Maternal Quality of Care Indicator (MQI) Work Group is comprised of independent clinicians and research scientists who have joined together to develop an evidence base aimed to support clinically meaningful measures of quality indicators related to pregnancy and childbirth. In order to be considered a meaningful indicator, the measure must be linked to clinical practices and health outcomes. In the case of pregnancy, because there are two patients, the measures should, ideally, encompass both maternal and neonatal outcomes.
