The Leapfrog Group’s 2014 survey results for maternity care
The Leapfrog Group’s 2014 survey results on the quality of hospital maternity care are as follows:
• The average rate of early elective deliveries has decreased, and for the second year, the national average hit the target rate of less than 5%.
• Some hospitals still perform early elective deliveries at a high rate: While nearly 78% of reporting hospitals achieved the Leapfrog standard for early elective deliveries, nearly 9% report a rate twice as high.
• In 2014, 648 hospitals performed episiotomies 12% or less of the time to meet Leapfrog’s 2014 standard, compared with 468 hospitals in 2012.
• As with early elective deliveries, there was variation in the episiotomy data. <3% of hospitals report an episiotomy rate of 1% or less, while15% of hospitals still report rates of 20% or more.
