This guide will enable a health facility to organize a quality improvement (QI) team, conduct assessments, and develop effective approaches to implementing the Every Mother Every Newborn standards in order to improve the quality of care for every mother and newborn receiving care in the health facility. The guide provides basic information to get started and a set of tools that can be adapted to meet the particular needs of the health facility. Reference documents are located in Section II and include appendices which offer examples, such as QI team terms of reference; and templates that can be used to guide root cause analysis or the development of policies and procedures.
