Advancing perinatal patient safety through application of safety science principles using health IT.
Researchers used semi-structured interviews with Labor and Delivery (L&D) units participating in AHRQ's Safety Program for Perinatal Care (SPPC) to assess units' experience with program implementation. Seventy percent of the units reported the use of health IT as an enabling strategy for their local implementation. Health IT was used to improve standardization of processes, use of independent checks, and to facilitate learning from defects.
