Brief Summary  

Objectives: This implementation research focuses on improving quality of care for pregnant women and their newborns in the three districts (Faridabad, Rewari and Jhajjar) of Haryana. A total of 9 facilities including 3 district hospitals and 6 FRUs in these three districts shall be part of the implementation research.  The implementation research objectives are:

1.      Design and implement context specific interventions at these hospitals to improve the quality of care including skilled attendance at birth, emergency obstetric care and sick newborn care.

2.      Develop local capacity for quality improvement processes for the maternal and newborn care.

3.      Enhance local capacity to collect and use information for continuous improvement

4.      To assess the feasibility, acceptability and sustainability of the quality improvement interventions.

Study design: This implementation research project shall adopt pre-post study design with repeated observations comprising of mixed methodology (qualitative and quantitative). For implementation of the interventions, we shall adopt continuous PDSA (plan-do-study-act) cycle quality improvement approach.

Implementation: At the selected facilities the service areas which will be included as part of the quality improvement process are:

·         Maternal care: Labour room, operation theatre, maternal ward and ANC OPDs

·         Newborn care: Sick newborn care units and newborn stabilization units

The project shall be implemented in phases over 24 months:

·         Phase 1- Formative research and situational analysis (3 months)

·         Phase 2: Implementation of the improvement cycles (15 months)

·         Phase 3: Documentation of impact (6 months)

·         Partners: The project is being implemented with facilitation and support from National Health Mission, Government of Haryana; Government of India, NSHRC, WHO and technical experts from several medical colleges. 

Timeline: The implementation shall be done during April 2017- Mar 2019.
