OB Readiness & Risk Tools for CMS CoPs
Beyond the Checkbox: Building Lasting Impact in Perinatal Quality & Safety
Too often, perinatal quality and safety initiatives have become “check-the-box” exercises, resulting in fleeting engagement and unsustained improvements. Our self-assessment tools help teams move past project-based efforts, identify what systems and structures are truly needed, and achieve the meaningful, lasting improvements envisioned by compliance programs like Birthing-Friendly initiatives and the CMS Obstetrical Conditions of Participation.
Pathway to Using the Assessments and Sustaining Best Practices in Perinatal Care
Choose Your Tool
Advance OB Safety with Two Purpose-Built Assessments
CMS OB CoP Readiness Organizational Self-Assessment
Designed to help hospitals evaluate compliance and readiness for the CMS Obstetrical Conditions of Participation (CoPs), consolidating key requirements and best practices into one time-saving resource.
High-Risk Readiness
Assessments
Targeted at critical obstetric complications and practices, including vacuum-assisted delivery, shoulder dystocia, and VBAC, these assessments help teams identify risk areas and optimize readiness and response.
Why These
Tools Matter
Regulatory changes require hospitals to understand complex requirements quickly. Many organizations lack consolidated tools to self-assess compliance, readiness, and response to high-risk OB events. Current methods are often fragmented, time-consuming, and checkbox-focused rather than promoting real improvements.
Superficial Compliance
Stop doing the minimum to meet a requirement — build systems that truly improve outcomes.
Paperwork over Practice
Replace forms and checklists with practical actions that change care delivery.
Missed Opportunities
Use quality measures as a catalyst for improvement — not a box to check.
Performative vs. transformative
Shift from satisfying regulators to cultivating a true culture of safety.
Short-Term Focus
Build sustainable systems that last beyond today’s requirements.
