Quality improvement in maternity care: insights from system integration simulations.

This report summarises the implementation of system integration simulations conducted prior to the transfer of clinical care at a newly established 789-bed maternity hospital transitioning from a 400-bed facility, highlighting key findings and actionable insights. The simulations focused on critical scenarios involving elective and emergency caesarean sections, aiming to enhance operational readiness and patient safety. Results indicate significant improvements in communication, staffing, logistics and equipment management were required and subsequently implemented prior to transfer of clinical care. These findings serve as a blueprint for establishing best practices in maternity care transitions, setting a new standard for operational excellence and patient safety.
