    • Mission Statement:
       
      • The Idaho Perinatal Quality Collaborative works to improve the quality of maternal health outcomes for all Idahoans. 
         We promote evidence-based best practices in perinatal and neonatal care, work to reduce disparities, and improve the overall health and well-being of families. 
         Together, we can achieve our goal of providing equitable, compassionate, and effective care to all who need it.
    •  

    • Vision Statement:
       
      • ID PQC's envisions a future where all Idahoans have access to and receive safe, equitable, and high-quality perinatal and neonatal care.
    •  

    • Values Statement:
       
      • Access: We believe that every person should have access to high-quality perinatal and neonatal care, regardless of their background, circumstances, or location. 

      • Equity: We are committed to promoting health equity by reducing disparities in access to care and health outcomes. 

      • Patient-Centered: We recognize the importance of elevating patient voice in decision-making to ensure care, policy, and advocacy meet community needs. 

      • Collaboration: We recognize that improving perinatal and neonatal care requires collaboration and coordination among stakeholders. We are committed to working together with partners across Idaho to advance our shared goals. 

      • Through these values, we aim to create a community of sharing, learning, and improvement that benefits all Idahoans. 


    • We consider these statements to be living documents, so please share any feedback you have, and we can incorporate them as our work continues. 

  • In the meeting we also shared the voting results for the AIM Patient Safety Bundle survey and announced that the Idaho PQC will start with implementation of the Severe Hypertension in Pregnancy Patient Safety Bundle. Implementation will start later this year, but in the meantime, more details on this bundle can be found here: https://saferbirth.org/psbs/severe-hypertension-in-pregnancy/
  • Finally, we discussed the importance of making sure we are including stakeholders and partners from all the regions and backgrounds across the state.  To help ensure that we are not missing any key stakeholders, we are asking for your help in spreading the word about the Idaho PQC.  We have attached a flyer that can be shared with potential partners and includes a linked survey where they can sign up for communications from the PQC, including invitations to the Regional Stakeholder meetings that will take place in July.  
    • Here is some language from the flyer that you can included in your outreach:
       
      • The Maternal and Child Health Program of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and Comagine Health have partnered to establish Idaho’s Perinatal Quality Collaborative (PQC). PQCs are statewide collaboratives of clinical providers, public health leaders, community-based organizations and patients and families who work together to improve outcomes for parents and babies. We need people and organizations like yours to join us!
    •  
      • We are seeking input from stakeholders from across Idaho to inform the structure of the PQC and identify key priorities. To express interest in participating in the PQC, and make sure you are invited to upcoming regional stakeholder meetings, please complete the interest form available at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/IDPQC_Interest.
