• Description:
  Ohio’s birth registry—the Integrated Perinatal Health Information System—is an extensive population-based data set. This registry is state and federally mandated—all births must be electronically recorded within 10 days. Despite its value, the data quality and accuracy have varied.
  
  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides funding for the Ohio Perinatal Quality Collaborative (OPQC). OPQC is a statewide consortium that aims to reduce preterm (before 37 weeks) births and improve birth outcomes across Ohio. OPQC recognized the need to improve the accuracy of the existing birth registry data so that this accessible and valuable information could be used to measure and guide perinatal improvement activities across the state and document changes
  
  in population health over time.
