General Questions

Why Does Wisconsin Need A Perinatal Quality Collaborative?

Wisconsin has the opportunity to leverage the energy of like-minded local, regional, and statewide organizations to form a lasting structure that will formally and systematically improve the quality of perinatal care and outcomes.

General Questions

Who Can Be A Member?

  • Organizations are members. Organizations identify individuals who represent their interests.
  • A large organization may have departments or divisions that could be considered for membership in the WisPQC. Departments or divisions of larger organizations can have representatives in the WisPQC if the individual departments or divisions represent unique perspectives. Organizations will participate in initiatives in ways that reflect their own overall objectives. For example, academic institutions could incorporate educational changes into their curricula.
  • Individuals cannot be members of the WisPQC. (The WisPQC may ask individuals to serve as content experts or consultants to the WisPQC, but the individuals will not be considered members.)
General Questions

What Is The Relationship Of WisPQC To The Wisconsin Association For Perinatal Care (WAPC) And The Perinatal Foundation?

WisPQC is separate from WAPC and the Perinatal Foundation. WAPC and the Perinatal Foundation began meetings in August 2014 with organizations interested in forming a perinatal quality collaborative. Since June 2015, WAPC has provided organizational and administrative support to the newly-formed Wisconsin Perinatal Quality Collaborative. WAPC applied for and was awarded grant funding for two years from the Department of Health Services to implement and evaluate a state perinatal quality collaborative. The Perinatal Foundation provides financial and programmatic resources to WisPQC through WAPC. Both WAPC and the Perinatal Foundation are founding members of WisPQC.
