Quality Improvement for Emergency Obstetric Care: Leadership Manual and Toolbook
EngenderHealth (2003)
Leadership Manual
Toolbook
The purpose of this newly revised manual and accompanying toolbook is to assist health care providers working in emergency obstetric care (EmOC) settings to improve the quality of services within their facility. With whatever resources are at hand, quality improvement (QI) processes can help staff change and improve practices and conditions and, in so doing, have a significant impact on pregnancy outcomes. The manual describes a continuous, four-step QI process that is based on participatory principles of staff involvement and ownership and that focuses on clients' rights and needs. In the four ongoing steps, staff gather and analyze information, develop an action plan, implement solutions, and review and evaluate progress. Targeted toward supervisors or team leaders who will guide their staff through the process, the manual is designed for regular use by EmOC staff to assess and adjust systems and practices in a constructive way. The accompanying toolbook contains the information-gathering instruments used as part of the QI process, along with instructions for their use.
