Description
Summary:In, 2001, the Patient Safety Division of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada initiated and championed a new program to improve patient safety performance in Canadian hospital obstetric units. This new program was developed under the banner of Managing Obstetrical Risk Efficiently and called the MOREOB Programme The MOREOB Programme was first piloted in Canadian hospitals at the beginning of May 2002 and, by mid 2004, 33 pilot sites had been implemented. In autumn 2004, this program embarked on a national launch. In 2007, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada collaborated with the Healthcare Insurance Reciprocal of Canada to form Salus Global Corporation. The birth of this corporate entity embraced the support of rapid expansion of the program within and outside of Canada. This collaboration also enabled innovation and implementation of safety programs beyond the obstetric discipline.
