Maternity Wing Management Information System (MW-MIS) (Madhya Pradesh)

Quality of Maternal and New-born care during intra and immediate postpartum period is a big concern. MMR in the country has reduced from 310 (2001-03) to 167 (2013) and IMR from 66 (2001) to 34 (2016). Still the indicators are too high

Problem Description

Maternity Wing ManagementInformation System was developed in April 2016 to capture evidence-based best practices that should be performed for every pregnant woman and new-born coming to the facility.

Programme Outcomes

MWMIS expects to achieve

A transparent system for monitoring of services delivered to the mother and new borns to enhance the Quality of Care around birth

MWMIS also facilitates the decision making process, by generating facilitywise dashboard indicators; thus easing the process of supervision and monitoring in the labor and Maternity wards

MWMIS improves accountability of service providers through improved recording, reporting and utilization of data for supervision and monitoring.

MWMIS will help to attain the targets as specified in LAQSHYA a “Labor room Quality Improvement Initiative”.
