ABSTRACT

Objective:To acquire the main result quality indicators status of tertiary maternal and child health(MCH) hospitals in China, supporting the decision making.Methods:The National Maternal and Child Health Institutions Resources and Operations Survey Direct Reporting System was used to collect the management operation, inpatient death, re-return, hospital-acquired infection, surgical complications and patient safety of these hospitals in China in 2017. Statistical descriptions were made using average, rate and composition comparison data.Results:The proportion of health technicians of tertiary MCH hospitals in China was 83.66%, the average hospitalization days were 5.96 days, with bed occupancy rate of 90.01%. The success rate of neonatal resuscitation was high. Meanwhile, the mortality rate of hospitalized maternal critical illness, the total hospitalization mortality rate of neonatal patients, the incidence of complications in surgical patients, the incidence of neonatal injury and the incidence of birth injury in vaginal delivery were higher in the institutions that had not participated in the MCH hospital accreditation.Conclusions:The management of tertiary MCH hospitals in China was in good condition, and the relevant policies and projects have achieved remarkable results. Compared with general hospitals, hospital infection and re-return indicators were good. The quality and safety of tertiary MCH hospitals which have not participated in the MCH hospital assessment were poor. It is recommended to carry out MCH hospital accreditation to improve quality and safety.
