MSPQC Launches Patient Experience Survey to Inform Quality Improvement
Improving Maternity Care, One Voice at a Time
The “M.O.M” Survey
‘Mother’s Own Measure’ of Care
The Mississippi Perinatal Quality Collaborative (MSPQC) is collecting feedback from mothers who have given birth in Mississippi within the last two years. The goal is to better understand their experiences during hospital stays and use that insight to inform quality improvement efforts across the state.
MSPQC is using a Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM), a brief, confidential survey that captures a mother’s perspective on the care she received. Unlike satisfaction surveys, PREMs are designed to highlight strengths and identify areas for system-level improvement. The feedback is not used to evaluate individual providers or hospitals, but to inform statewide learning and support best practices in perinatal care.
