Perinatal Debriefing Initiative
This 18-month initiative supports hospitals in implementing structured, post-fall debriefs using an evidence-based model to uncover root causes and prevent future incidents. MPSC provides training, shared learning forums, and tailored guidance to help organizations reduce the frequency and severity of patient falls.
Reducing the Number and Severity
of Patient Falls
Through a collaborative, data-driven approach, participating hospitals work with MPSC to implement post-fall debriefing protocols, analyze trends, and improve unit-level practices. The initiative aims to reduce fall-related harm by identifying risk factors, empowering frontline teams, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
Reducing Medication Errors in
Labor and Delivery
Launching in late 2025, this initiative aims to reduce adverse medication events during labor and delivery. MPSC will work with care teams to improve medication safety processes, standardize protocols, and strengthen communication between providers. Details will be shared as the initiative progresses.
