As a state we have an opportunity to participate in a national survey about hospital practices and protocols related to birthing person and newborn toxicology testing.

Here's the details - 

The survey is web-based and should be completed by individuals familiar with their hospital’s toxicology testing practices, including OB/GYN and pediatric physicians or fellows, certified nurse midwives (CNM), perinatal social workers, as well as L&D nursing managers. Importantly, only one individual at each hospital should complete the survey. The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and participants will be entered into a raffle to win AirPods.

You can access the survey at the following link: https://redcap.link/dzx3f7fg

Your participation in this survey will not only provide PQCNC with valuable statewide data, but it will also advance research and advocacy related to toxicology testing practices during pregnancy, more broadly, and finally, data from other states will be shared with PQCNC which we can in turn share with you. 

Note: the introduction to the survey says that "your name and email address have been furnished to us by your PQC" - this is not the case as we are only sharing the survey link with y'all - we NEVER share names and email addresses

Reminder to Register for Learning Session 3

Make sure your team is registered for Learning Session 3, Thursday, September 28, 2023 at the McKimmon Center - as you may recall in Learning Session 2 in April we collectively agreed that as part of LS3 and to celebrate 3 years of intensive work teams would bring at least one patient / parent / family member impacted by our work to this final learning session.

For those folks you will be bringing with your team please - 

• Make sure they also register (or register them yourself) to ensure an accurate count for the meeting space, breakfast, and lunch
• PQCNC is offering an honorarium for those patient / parent / family members that attend but to receive it there is paperwork that must be completed in advance of the meeting - either send us the contact information or have them reach out to qiadvisor@pqcnc.org directly
