Factors for change in maternal and perinatal audit systems in Dar es Salaam hospitals, Tanzania

Nyamtema et al. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth 2010, 10:29 /1471-2393/10/29 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Factors for change in maternal and perinatal audit Research article systems in Dar es Salaam hospitals, Tanzania Angelo S Nyamtema*1, David P Urassa2, Andrea B Pembe3, Felix Kisanga2 and Jos van Roosmalen4,5 Abstract Background: Effective maternal and perinatal audits are associated with improved quality of care and reduction of severe adverse outcome.

Maternal and perinatal audit systems existed only in 4 and 3 hospitals respectively, and key decision makers did not take part in audit committees. Sixty percent of care providers were not aware of even a single action which had ever been implemented in their hospitals because of audit recommendations. There were neither records of the key decision points, action plan, nor regular analysis of the audit re
