Postpartum Hemorrhage: No Denial, No Delay - The Alberta Interprofessional Toolkit - 3-Part Webinar Series

Women & Reproductive Health (Obstetrics & Gynecology)

Through dedicated partnerships and innovative projects, PLP continues to respond proactively to the healthcare needs of Albertans. Our ongoing collaborations and expansions are poised to enhance healthcare quality and efficiency across the province. As part of the different collaborations with stakeholder organizations and partners, PLP and L3 were approached by the Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Youth Strategic Network (MNCY SCN) and the Perinatal Health Program from AHS, with the goal of disseminating a provincial-wide postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) toolkit created for providers and health care teams. 

This toolkit has the goal of reducing maternal morbidity from Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) across the continuum of pregnancy through late pregnancy and delivery, including 1) antenatal care (risk identification and treatment of anemia); 2) labor and delivery (early recognition and treatment and advanced management); and 3) care of the patient who has experienced PPH after discharge from the hospital. PLP and L3 collaborated with these organizations to develop and deliver a 3 part webinar series which was attended by physicians, nurses, subspecialists, and midwives. PLP was able to expand the reach of the toolkit to more than 1300 healthcare providers through the live presentations, asynchronous learning resources, and the dissemination of the Pearls for Practice Educational resources.
