The School of Medicine also serves as the coordinating center for the California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative, which collects data on over 90 percent of the NICUs in the state. By linking CPQCC databases to vital records collected by the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, we have even more opportunities to assess prenatal, neonatal and post-natal care delivery.
We incorporate all California perinatal databases with the Vermont Oxford Network existing databases that include information on very low birth weight infants (≤ 1500 grams) and infants over 1500 grams who are admitted to a NICU at one of its nearly 1000 participating centers around the world. Additionally, Stanford is the center for the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC), which works to ensure equitable care for mothers and prevent maternal death.
