The Perinatal Quality Foundation operates within the hospital and health care sector as an independent affiliate of the Society of Maternal-Fetal Medicine. It focuses on improving obstetrical care, particularly fetal safety in hospital labor and delivery units, by developing and disseminating evidence-based practice protocols, clinician education, and monitoring measures, while fostering discussion on emerging obstetrical technologies and supporting related research. The organization is guided by a board and volunteers who are recognized clinicians in obstetrics, and it has launched programs such as NTQR, CLEAR, FMC, and GEM to address quality review, cervical-length education, fetal monitoring credentialing, and genetic education, respectively. Based in the United States, the foundation serves health care providers involved in obstetrics, with a mission to enhance the quality of obstetrical services through education, standardized practices, and collaboration on safety initiatives. A recent collaboration announced in 2018 involved a training partnership with Allen Communication to develop materials for patient and provider decision-making and communication tools, reflecting its ongoing efforts to support safe obstetrical care.
