The first day of the course focuses on introducing four QI steps and basic principles and concepts in improving quality of care. The second day guides facility level staff to develop a simple QI project related to their present work and responsibility that they consider is feasible to implement in their health facility with possibility of visible improvement in short time.The learner’s manual includes a case scenario and exercises and discussion around the fi rst three steps for quality improvement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Post-MDGs by:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n <li>   Testing and implementing innovative, cutting-edge quality improvement and service delivery approaches in MNCH, such as collaborative improvement, process redesign, and integrating routine and complications care across system levels<\/li>\r\n <li>   Developing, testing, and disseminating technical frameworks, approaches, and tools that can increase the efficiency, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and sustainability of health system strengthening and quality improvement initiatives in support of the USAID EPCMD strategy, including strategies to integrate gender considerations in care delivery<\/li>\r\n <li>   Building government and implementing partner capacity to apply improvement methods across health system levels (community, clinic, hospital, district, regional, central) to improve, scale up, and sustain high-impact, low-cost, people-centered MNCH and family planning services for leading causes of maternal newborn and child morbidity and mortality in USAID priority countries<\/li>\r\n <li>   Strengthening frontline health worker and manager skills, motivation, and performance through integrated clinical and quality improvement capacity building and through engagement of health workers in making improvements in their local health care systems and processes<\/li>\r\n <li>   Supporting the development and testing of MNCH quality of care indicators, strengthening routine health information systems to enable regular tracking of quality measures at service delivery level, and promoting accountability at global, national, and sub-national levels<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Currently operating in 21 countries, the project supports the application of modern improvement methods by host country providers and managers in USAID-assisted countries and seeks to generate new knowledge to increase the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of applying improvement methods in low- and middle-income countries. These activities seek to implement evidence-based practices, not only for antenatal, intra- and post-partum, postnatal, and early childhood care, but also to prevent and treat the leading causes of death across the life course at all levels of health service delivery system. The project also works to strengthen community-based services and community linkages with facility-based care as well as continuity of care across different levels of health service delivery.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Learn more about our work to improve maternal and newborn health in this<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/sites\/default\/files\/resources\/ASSIST%20MNCH%20Results%20and%20Activities_May2015.pdf\"><strong> <\/strong>short report<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Visit our USAID ASSIST Knowledge Portal<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usaidassist.org\/topics\/maternal-newborn-and-child-health\">MNCH Page<\/a><strong> for more information abour work to improve health outcomes for mothers,newborns and children in low- and middle-income countries.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n","post_title":"ASSIST Project - USAID Applying Science to Strengthen and Improve Systems (ASSIST) Project","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"assist-project-usaid-applying-science-strengthen-and-improve-systems-assist-project","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2016-01-20 21:00:16","post_modified_gmt":"2016-01-20 21:00:16","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/?post_type=partner&p=460","menu_order":0,"post_type":"partner","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":838,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2013-04-29 19:44:10","post_date_gmt":"2013-04-29 19:44:10","post_content":"","post_title":"UNICEF","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"unicef","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2016-01-21 19:45:06","post_modified_gmt":"2016-01-21 19:45:06","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/www.healthynewbornnetwork.org\/?post_type=partner&p=838","menu_order":0,"post_type":"partner","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":451,"post_author":"676","post_date":"2010-03-25 20:38:28","post_date_gmt":"2010-03-25 20:38:28","post_content":"AIIMS was created in 1956 to serve as a nucleus for nurturing excellence in all aspects of health care.\r\n\r\nAll-India Institute of Medical Sciences was established as an institution of national importance by an Act of Parliament with the objects to develop patterns of teaching in Undergraduate and Post-graduate Medical Education in all its branches so as to demonstrate a high standard of Medical Education in India; to bring together in one place educational facilities of the highest order for the training of personnel in all important branches of health activity; and to attain self-sufficiency in Post-graduate Medical Education.\r\n\r\nThe Institute has comprehensive facilities for teaching, research and patient-care. As provided in the Act, AIIMS conducts teaching programs in medical and para-medical courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and awards its own degrees. Teaching and research are conducted in 42 disciplines. In the field of medical research AIIMS is the lead, having more than 600 research publications by its faculty and researchers in a year.

Access to essential services before, during, and after pregnancy in these settings is severely restricted. As the number of people affected by conflict, natural disasters, and other emergencies increases, the gap between needs and resources is growing. There is a growing demand from responders and governments to provide for the most vulnerable groups. When a baby is born in an emergency setting, the number of risks that are encountered in the first days of life may seem insurmountable \u2014 but even in these precarious situations, many of the deaths that occur around the time of birth are preventable.
