(Strathroy, ON) – Recently the Strathroy hospital of the Middlesex Hospital Alliance (MHA) launched the MOREOB (Managing Obstetrical Risk Efficiently) program. The Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, in collaboration with the South West Local Health Integration Network, approved funding for the MOREOB initiative.
MOREOB was created in 2001-2002 by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada to address obstetrical risk and patient safety issues. The interprofessional patient safety program incorporates adult education principles, reflective learning, practice modification, and evaluation as the foundation for motivating change and maintaining a current clinical knowledge base.
It is designed to improve quality of care, encompasses professional development and enhances knowledge management and patient safety in obstetrical units. The program is implemented over a three year period and involves evidence based education, skills drills and simulation. We are pleased to participate in the MOREOB program.
“We are very excited about bringing this program to Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital,” said Dr. Phil Vandewalle, Clinical Chief, Obstetrics.
