Background and Objectives: Public health systems exhibiting strong connections across the workforce experience substantial population health improvements. This is especially important for improving quality and achieving value among vulnerable populations such as mothers and infants. The purpose of this research was to demonstrate how Alabama's newly formed perinatal quality collaborative (Alabama Perinatal Quality Collaborative [ALPQC]) used evidenced-based processes to achieve consensus in identifying population quality improvement (QI) initiatives. Methods: This multiphase quantitative and qualitative study engaged stakeholders (n = 44) at the ALPQC annual meeting. Maternal and neonatal focused QI project topics were identified and catalogued from active perinatal quality collaborative websites. The Delphi method and the nominal group technique (NGT) were used to prioritize topics using selected criteria (impact, enthusiasm, alignment, and feasibility) and stakeholder input. Results: Using the Delphi method, 11 of 27 identified project topics met inclusion criteria for stakeholder consideration. Employing the NGT, maternal projects received more total votes (n = 535) than neonatal projects (n = 313). Standard deviations were higher for neonatal projects (SD: feasibility = 10.9, alignment = 17.9, enthusiasm = 19.2, and impact = 22.1) than for maternal projects (SD: alignment = 5.9, enthusiasm = 7.3, impact = 7.9, and feasibility = 11.1). Hypertension in pregnancy (n = 117) and neonatal abstinence syndrome (n = 177) achieved the most votes total and for impact (n = 35 and n = 54, respectively) but variable support for feasibility. Conclusions: Together, these techniques achieved valid consensus across multidisciplinary stakeholders in alignment with state public health priorities. This model can be used in other settings to integrate stakeholder input and enhance the value of a common population QI agenda.

Objectives As the U.S. healthcare system shifts toward collaboration, demand for leaders with interdisciplinary skills increases. Leadership competencies guide interdisciplinary training programs; however, identifying cost-effective methods for evaluating leadership competencies is challenging, particularly when interdisciplinary trainees have different areas of expertise and professional goals. Traditional pre-/post-testing, a common method for evaluating leadership competencies, is subject to response-shift bias, which can occur when participants' understanding of a construct changes between pre- and post-test. As a result, participants may rate their knowledge of the construct lower at post-test. Retrospective pre-tests are one method thought to reduce response-shift bias in pre-/post-tests. The current study explores the use of a retrospective pre-test to control for response-shift bias in an interdisciplinary training program. Methods Over three cohort years, thirty-four trainees from an interdisciplinary leadership program completed a self-assessment aligned with MCH leadership competencies. The traditional pre-test self-assessment was completed at the beginning of the training program. The retrospective pre-/post-test self-assessment was completed at the end of the training program. Results Retrospective pre/post-test scores indicate significant self-reported increases in all 24 leadership areas (p ≤ .001). Furthermore, participants' self-ratings were significantly higher on the traditional pre-test for all 24 areas than on the retrospective pre-test (p ≤ .001). Conclusions for Practice Retrospective pre-tests appeared to control for response-shift bias and may be a cost-effective way to evaluate trainee change within an interdisciplinary leadership program. These findings suggest the methodology's usefulness in interdisciplinary training and its potential use in the broader world of community-based MCH training initiatives.
