This meeting was made possible from a generous grant by Dolores Smith of the March of Dimes. This forum was a follow up from last years successful initial program that highlighted eleven institutions from all over the state presenting innovative Quality Initiatives. This year’s program focused on data and outcomes. There were presentations from 8 institutions who had presented last year as well as a stimulating presentation from Geisinger on “Process Redesign and Outcomes in Ob Care”.
