JCAHO just came to the hospital where I'm in my preceptorship... they of course did chart reviews (picked the one my preceptor and I did for our unit!), the word was that they were really looking for individualized care plans too (and we did in fact hear later that they commented on the individualization on ours).
Some of the broad things for ours is infant mortality, 3rd & 4th degree lacerations, and I think VBAC was one of ours but no one here does them anymore so that's moot. I'm not sure what else, I haven't heard any talk or seen reporting of anything else.

What are some of the Quality Perfomance Improvement you might be looking at in your L&D/Nursery units? We look at transfers, C/S for CPD/FTP, Deliveries unattended by a Physician, just to name a few.
