Opioid Care: Since 2019, California has recognized hospitals for their progress and performance promoting safe and effective opioid use, providing treatment for patients with opioid use disorder, providing access to naloxone to prevent opioid overdose related deaths, and reducing barriers to care by addressing stigma. “Although we have more work to do, the data shows that we are heading in the right direction.” “I congratulate these hospitals and providers for their work in reducing medically unnecessary C-sections,” said Dr. The California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative collects the data and actively works with hospitals to safely reduce low-risk C-sections. The surgery also brings risks for babies, including higher rates of infection, respiratory complications, neonatal intensive care unit stays, and lower breastfeeding rates. For mothers, overuse of C-sections can result in higher rates of complications like hemorrhage, transfusions, infection, and blood clots. If all hospitals met the 23.6% statewide target, 2,734 C-sections would have been avoided in 2023 alone. In California, these rates range from 10% to over 40% indicating potential for further improvement. There continues to be substantial variation among individual hospital rates of low-risk, first-birth c-sections. Over 50% of the 211 California hospitals that offer maternity services made this year’s honor roll, which represents 107 hospitals. Maternity Care: For almost a decade, California has recognized hospitals that meet or exceed a c-section statewide target for low-risk, first births. “We invite all California hospitals to use these honor rolls as a tool to evaluate performance and benchmark against other hospitals.” “Cal Hospital Compare is proud to contribute to the statewide effort to improve quality in the hospital setting by providing a way to evaluate performance for hospitals in the important areas of maternity, opioid stewardship, and patient safety, while offering a roadmap for change,” said Bruce Spurlock, MD, executive director of Cal Hospital Compare.
