RESEARCH PROJECT:
Improving quality of care and outcomes for Aboriginal mothers and infants: A Continuous Cultural Quality Improvement Program
Culturally safe continuity of care to optimise Aboriginal women’s strengths throughout their perinatal care journey. Aims to address the many complex interrelated challenges faced by Aboriginal women when transitioning between multiple services, often off-country.
Consists of two elements: 1) a training program for health professionals 'Aboriginal Women's Ways of Being and Knowing in Perinatal Care’; and, 2) a continuous quality improvement process (CQIP) to assess the cultural competence of services, promote critical self reflection among practitioners, and document self-reported changes.
