Abstract

Most cases of maternal deaths could be avoided with timely access to quality healthcare, but a key challenge in addressing quality of care in maternal health is the lack of accurate data and analytics. Implementing online communities of practice is a way to resolve this, but in low-and middle-income countries this is particularly challenging. We discuss the design of the Alicanto Online Latin-American Community of Practice that focuses on both outcomes and process indicators.

Keywords: Information Technology; Pregnancy; Quality Improvement.
