Title: Quality Improvement in Perinatal Medicine and Translation of Preterm Birth Research Findings into Clinical Care.

Authors: Manuck, Tracy A; Fry, Rebecca C; McFarlin, Barbara L

Published In Clin Perinatol, (2018 06)

Abstract: Billions of dollars are spent yearly in perinatal medicine on studies designed to improve outcomes for mothers and their neonates. However, implementing research findings is challenging and imperfect. Strategies for implementation must be multifaceted and comprehensive. These implementation challenges extend to, and are often greater in, translational and basic science research. The purpose of this review is to discuss current challenges in the provision of quality perinatal and neonatal medical care, particularly those related to preterm birth, and provide examples of prematurity-related perinatal quality collaborative initiatives. Finally, the authors review considerations in implementing both clinical and translational/basic science prematurity research.
