Regional Perinatal Center
The Regional Perinatal Center (RPC)
Program at Westchester Medical Center is committed to working with the New York State Department of Health in formulating an infrastructure for quality improvement to enhance integration of the combined services of our regional hospitals and to accomplish the goal of improving the health outcomes of the women and babies we serve in the Lower Hudson Valley. Our catchment area encompasses a 7 county region containing our affiliate hospitals.
Our RPC program at WMC includes the following priorities:
QA/QI Activities: Quarterly on-site quality
of care meetings include the analysis of statistical perinatal
data, review of serious adverse perinatal events, outreach
& educational activities, review of incoming and return
neonatal and obstetrical transports and issues, individual
case reviews, the development and implementation of best practices,
and pertinent perinatal network activities as well as public
health resources within the region.
Statewide Perinatal Data System (SPDS): Data collection and
assessment utilizing the statewide perinatal data base system
and other internal and external data resources to identify
new and emerging trends and issues in perinatal care, to drive
quality improvement activities, and to provide data driven
benchmarks for current and future perinatal care.
Regional Perinatal Forum (RPF): In collaboration with our 2 Perinatal Networks the Lower Hudson Valley Perinatal
Network
and the Maternal Infant Services Network we convene
with community stakeholders as a RPF Steering Committee in
the ongoing development of a Regional Action Plan and in activities
to implement and evaluate its goals and objectives (i.e. mini-grants). We develop and sponsor an Annual Regional Perinatal Forum
Conference that addresses perinatal public health issues in
our region.
