New analysis from HQI examines the changes in adverse outcomes and complications associated with inducing labor for babies that are large for their gestational age, suggesting that early recognition is critical — and later interventions (inducing labor after 39 weeks) may actually worsen outcomes.

HQI’s sentinel signal detection system automatically detects abnormal changes (i.e., signals) in the incidence of terms detected in Collaborative Healthcare and Patient Safety Organization (CHPSO) patient safety reports. Every quarter, HQI aggregates these signals across reporting hospitals to provide a statewide perspective.
