Key Information about the Study

  • We are asking you to participate in a survey for The Safety Program in Perinatal Care-II (SPPC-II) Demonstration Project, implemented jointly by the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (AIM). The program aims to demonstrate the value of integrating key components of teamwork and communication with AIM maternal safety bundles developed for obstetric hemorrhage and severe hypertension in pregnancy.

  • You are being asked to complete this baseline survey because your hospital’s leadership has agreed to participate in this Demonstration Project, and you were identified as the AIM Team Lead for your hospital.

  • You do not have to join the study; it is your choice and there is no penalty for not joining. Ask as many questions as you need to help you make your decision. Please review the details outlined in the rest of this consent document before deciding.

  • If you join, we will ask you to complete a paper or web-based survey. We estimate this survey should take 20 minutes to complete.

  • If you join the study, you will receive a $10 Amazon e-gift card as compensation for the time you spent completing this survey. We will use your responses to help identify the skills, processes, and infrastructure currently available at your hospital before all staff receives training on teamwork and communication tools and strategies for use in clinical practice.


Details about the Study


Why is this research being done?

This survey will be used to understand your hospital’s experience with implementation of AIM patient safety bundles as well as any prior experience with trainings or tools to foster teamwork and communication in clinical obstetric practice. We will also assess the skills, processes, and infrastructure at your hospital to guide the implementation and evaluation of the SPPC-II Demonstration Project. We hope knowledge generated through this Project will improve implementation of the AIM program and its impact on teamwork and communication, patient safety culture, and key maternal health outcomes.


Shape1 What will happen if you join this study?

If you agree to be in this study, we will ask you to complete a paper or web-based survey, consisting of 25 questions. The survey is estimated to take 20 minutes to complete.




Will research test results be shared with you?

The results of this study will be used for the evaluation of the SPPC-II Demonstration Project, but we do not expect they will be clinically useful for you. Therefore, we will not share these results with you.


What happens to data that are collected in the study?

The data we collect from you will help guide the implementation and evaluation of the SPPC-II Demonstration Project. As a participant, you will not own your research data, and you will not benefit financially from any new product or idea that might arise from our work. Sharing of research data in scientific journals is often done to increase what health researchers can learn. The data you provide us will be shared in aggregate at the state level in such scientific journals. We will protect the data you provide and all sharing of data will be done anonymously (that is, the data will not be linked to your name or the name of the hospital where you work). If you are not comfortable with the use of your data in future research, you may not want to participate in this study.

We will not identify your name or the name of the hospital where you work in any reports or publications that use the information you provide.

Your responses will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law, including federal government confidentiality statute, 42 USC 299c-3(c). That law requires that information collected for research conducted or supported by the federal government that identifies individuals or establishments be used only for the purpose for which it was supplied unless you consent to the use of the information for another purpose.


Confidentiality will be maintained utilizing computer systems that require passwords for access. Collected information will be stored in a password protected computer not available to anyone not directly involved in this study. All names will be deleted from datasets in order to protect your confidentiality. The name of the hospital will only be retained in the dataset that is shared internally within the study team.
