New Jersey Perinatal Quality Collaborative
Annual or other report
This report presents the work of New Jersey’s Perinatal Quality Collaborative on the fifth
anniversary of its CDC designation, including measurable improvements in three key maternal
health indicators – Cesarean delivery, hypertension and maternal hemorrhage. It shows that
606 cases of maternal mortality were averted – that’s 606 lives saved – and more than 10,000
C-sections prevented as New Jersey hospitals implemented PQC best practices in caring for
pregnant individuals.
