In 1994, ACOG published "Quality Assessment and Improvement in Obstetrics and Gynecology", which joined a long line of publications developed by the College to inform and assist Fellows who participate in peer review and quality improvement activities. This revision, "Quality and Safety in Women's Health Care", is intended to serve as a primer for obstetricians and gynaecologists starting or managing quality improvement programs within their hospital departments or ambulatory practices by focusing on the following areas: quality and safety in the inpatient setting; clinical competence; quality and safety in the outpatient setting; and, data analysis tools. This manual is presented in five parts. Provided in the appendixes are resources that include the 2009 Report of the Presidential Task Force on Patient Safety in the Office Setting and the World Health Organization's Surgical Safety Checklist. It is hoped that this publication will complement the guidelines, practice bulletins and committee opinions from the college and jointly serve as the foundation for continuous quality improvement and evidence-based best practices in obstetrics and gynecology.
