Strategic Goal:

Deliver Authoritative Information and Insights

One of BORN's strategic goals is to provide authoritative information and insights to guide policy, practice, and system-level improvement.

In the next five years, we will focus on key outcome areas including

major causes of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality
neonatal health and outcomes (including NICU utilization, infant mortality, and critical congenital heart disease, RSV)
paediatric diabetes care, and prenatal screening quality and experience (including aneuploidy detection and beyond)

Focus Areas

Share Actionable Insights about

Neonatal Outcomes

Dedicate focus on establishing and populating validated outcome measures of neonatal outcomes, including mortality.
Where possible, focus on how outcomes for neonates born at inappropriate level of care (per PCMCH guideline) may vary from in-born care
Investigate the trends in neonatal care and how changes in pregnant populations may be having an impact on NICU utilization. (e.g. high rates of neonatal hypoglycemia, obesity)

Inform High-Quality

Paediatric Diabetes Care

Enable system-wide quality monitoring and performance benchmarking, helping to identify variations and gaps in pediatric diabetes care.
Support targeted interventions and equity in care
Drive research and continuous quality improvement (such as evaluation of care models) aimed at optimizing pediatric diabetes care and informing evidence-based policy and practice.

Understand and Improve

Prenatal Screening Quality and Experience

Understand how screening is offered and how the process is experienced by the patient
Support clinicians in decision-making and results interpretation through guidance documents based on timely data analytics
