Oregon Midwifery Council Peer Review
Peer review is the foundation of midwifery quality improvement in Oregon. Midwives attending home births and birth center births in Oregon participate in peer review to receive feedback from peer midwives about the care we have given in order to improve care and to engage in ongoing learning as individual midwives and as a community.
The Oregon Midwifery Council holds regular regional peer review meetings and also provides individual case review for sentinel events in order to:
- Improve outcomes and experience of care for midwifery clients
- Identify system level issues impacting client care
- Identify areas where continuing education is needed
- Improve the process of hospital transfer
- Support ongoing learning and growth for midwives
We offer a number of resources for supporting effective peer review for regions, practices, and individuals. Please contact omcpresident@gmail.com for more information
