Our Services
what we offerDrivers of the Perinatal Quality and Patient Safety Gap
Disparate data systems and non-relevant data create barriers to institutional alignment with and accountability to Black people focused and equity driven perinatal care experiences and outcomes. Birthing Cultural Rigor® in perinatal quality improvement (QI) and implementation programs and activities requires a patient and community focused measurement tool to drive equity within health systems through awareness, action, and accountability.
TRUTH
Current standards in quality improvement (QI) and implementation science create and spread (mis)truths about Black perinatal health using science that lacks historical context and cultural rigor.
Our 4T model of inquiry, improvement, implementation, and impact:
TRUST
Medical (mis)trust originates in past and present-day medical experimentation, exploitation, extraction, and misinformation that undermines the safety and sovereignty of Black birthing communities in health care access, communication, and decision-making.
TRANSPARENCY
Traditional QI ethics, leadership, and knowledge depend on measurement strategies that fail to uncover how differences in power between hospitals and Black birthing communities drive the inequitable distributions of optimal perinatal care experiences, conditions, and outcomes
TRANSFORMATION
Cultural rigor facilitates truth-telling, builds trust, and activates transparency to affirm and amplify patient and community voices in the transformation of care design, quality, provision, evaluation, and training.
