Perinatal Care: National Quality Improvement Goals

*Comparison data shown is reported by The Joint Commission for reporting period October 2015-September 2016 (most recent available from The Joint Commission). Unless otherwise indicated, higher percentages are better.

Antenatal Steroids

Elective Delivery*

An elective delivery is the delivery of a newborn(s) when the mother was not in active labor or presented with spontaneous ruptured membranes prior to medical induction and/or cesarean section. * Lower percentage is better.

Exclusive Breast Milk Feeding

Percentage of newborns who are exclusively fed breast milk during entire hospitalization and no other liquids or solids except for drops or syrups of vitamins, minerals or medicines.
