Apport de la surveillance Réseau Mater dans l'amélioration continue de qualité des soins en obstétrique

Since 2002 the Maternity of the hospital center of Macon has been closely monitoring postpartum infections within the framework of the Réseau Mater. The director of the South Eastern CCLIN and coordinating doctor of the network alerted Macon in 2008 to the significant increase of the number of cases of endometritis observed in women who had had vaginal deliveries, as well as post-cesarian surgical site infections and urinary tract infections, compared to the number expected. From then on the department committed to an action program and quality improvement measures in a multi-professional approach concentrating on work organization, professional practice, information and patient involvement in the prevention of the risk of infection, as well as the rehabilitation of the obstetrics operating room. The analysis of the annual monitoring data by the Réseau Mater shows that since 2010 standardized infection nosocomial ratios has normalized.
