What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • multifaceted programBehavioural

    This program present two steps : a first step to revise protocols related to the management of cases (between M5 and M8) and a second step after M8 et M 26, with morbimortality conferences organized every trimester to analyze management with the staff.

Study groups in NCT02584166
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intervention group38 maternity units with allocated to the intervention group: coordinating team disseminated protocols related to the management of cases, and organized mortality morbidity conferences (MMC) in each unit with staff concerned. These MMC were realized by the same outside medical binomial composed of a midwife and an obstetrician (outreach visit with a leader ship). Among the 38 maternity units, MMC were performed with the medical binomial and professionals of human science in 20 units to identify the defense mechanisms manifested by medical staff which could disturb the decision making. In the others 18 units, MMC were performed with only the outside medical binomial. Coordinating team defined with teams the area of improvement before each MMC. 3 or 4 MMC were performed according to their activity.
Receives: Behavioral: multifaceted program
Control groupNo intervention in 57 maternity units
