Our Lady of the Angels Hospital has once again earned the Birth Ready+ designation by the Louisiana Perinatal Quality Collaborative (LaPQC).
“Earning the Birth Ready+ designation for the third consecutive year is a testament to the dedication of our entire team,” said Chuck Spicer, Our Lady of the Angels and Our Lady of the Lake Health president. “We are proud to offer families in Washington Parish access to high-quality maternity care delivered with the personal touch and compassion our community deserves.”
To achieve designation, facilities must meet criteria in five dimensions: participation in collaborative learning; health disparity and patient partnership; policies and procedures; structures and education; and outcome and process measures. Hospitals that achieve Birth Ready + Designation have met a higher threshold of compliance and achievement of the requirements.
