Findings of the reassessment There have been variable, but in some cases substantial improvements, in key aspects of case management (care during normal labour and delivery, and care for sick newborn babies). . The areas related to care for newborn babies show a slightly improvement. There was a moderate improvement in management of obstetric complications and infection prevention. Overall, there has been substantial and generalized improvement in the general environment and friendly care for both mothers and babies. Areas that showed improvement were: monitoring and follow up, initial development of protocols. Statistics are collected regularly but record keeping is substandard and need to be updating. A unified medical record for delivery care is still not available; The system for prenatal referral and regionalization is existing in principle. Continuum of care throughout pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum period for mothers and children, within different levels. 33

Title: Improvement of health care quality for mothers and newborn babies in maternity hospitals in Albania (UNFPA) (2015) n Findings and Conclusions of the Beyond the Numbers Study n Record keeping in general requires more detailed information in order to facilitate informed opinions of solutions to reduce the risks in cases of ‘near misses’ in order to avoid or reduce such occurrences in the future Details of PPH require more measured values in terms of vital signs, volumes and time elapsed. There was found to be insufficient data that could be called quality data; the capacity to analyze and interpret statistical data and use them as a guide for action is underdeveloped for near miss cases n n Preparedness of patients at risk, for instance in cases of known anaemia, is an area for improvement n General preparedness and awareness of all clinical staff to be ready to deal with near miss incidents is an area that needs developing as a core subject in Continuing Medical Education training modules n There are examples where the physical institutional problems e. g. laboratories not readily available on the same site that create additional risk factors. In such cases pre-planning for emergencies must be emphasized to the administration 36
Title: Improvement of health care quality for mothers and newborn babies in maternity hospitals in Albania (UNFPA) (2015) n A general lack of the use of local protocols is a continuing weakness n In one of the study cases the lack of a viable system for perinatal referral was again identified. There is a need for guidelines to fix the criteria on which referrals should be based and to ensure that there is the logistical support of suitable transport for all weather emergencies. This again is mentioned under this component also a serious inadequacy 37
