In a June 3 webinar hosted by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, presenters from AHRQ and Vizient highlighted how PSOs create a safe environment for healthcare providers to learn from mistakes without fear of punishment. Based on the data they collect, PSOs develop and offer effective strategies, including evidence-based resources and expert guidance, to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. They look at how medical teams work and what affects patient care, including clinical practices, workflows, and workplace culture. The presenters shared how these interventions and safety protocols have helped improve maternal safety and outcomes in healthcare settings.
