Improving the Quality of Obstetric Medical Services

Latest News

2022 Update: The Perinatal Quality Foundation remains committed to providing credentialing and quality education as both continue to be an important healthcare quality measure. We are proud that the PQF programs can assist in your career and facilitate quality care. As we assess changes in the healthcare environment our focus is on maintaining existing programming while expanding resources and partnerships.

As of September 9, 2022, we are proud to announce that we have begun the process of transferring our FMC program to Inteleos as part of our strategic plan to grow and strengthen credentialing resources to continually enhance the quality of obstetrical medical services. Inteleos is a non-profit credentialing organization chosen from a thorough RFP and review process completed earlier this year to further expand and strengthen the FMC credentialing program. All benefits and fees remain the same at this time and can be accessed at https://fmc.perinatalquality.org.
