In the course of their conversation, Keith and Jeanette discuss the role of the Perinatal Safety Nurse, the importance of quality and safety in improving patient outcomes and efficiency/workflow for frontline staff, and the recent publication of Jeanette's book, Obstetric and Neonatal Quality and Safety (C-ONQS) Study Guide: A Practical Resource for Perinatal Nurses.

She has worked as a bedside nurse, a charge nurse, a clinical nurse leader, a perinatal safety nurse, and a quality improvement performance specialist.

Some examples of quality improvement initiatives include the following programs: safe reduction in primary cesarean delivery, obstetric hemorrhage safety bundle, shoulder dystocia team response program, prevention of retained surgical items, multidisciplinary placenta accreta program, and a standardized approach to obstetric triage. Her experience includes both intrahospital and system level perinatal quality and safety work in a large multi-institutional health care delivery system.
