PSBC develops, adopts, and approves guidelines and standardized forms that support best practices for maternal and newborn care using a multidisciplinary approach.

We collaborate with provincial stakeholders and frontline leaders to promote the application and integration of evidence-based best practices designed to increase the effectiveness, efficiency, accountability, and sustainability of clinical activities in maternal, fetal, and newborn health across British Columbia.

We also coordinate and provide outreach education for fetal health surveillance, neonatal resuscitation, and acute care of at-risk and unwell newborns. 

System Planning

‎Perinatal Services BC both leads and collaborates with stakeholders to develop and implement initiatives designed to support planning for perinatal health across the continuum. We are committed to ensuring that our planning initiatives intersect with other services and projects to provide true cross-continuum and cross-sector integration. 

Perinatal Services BC (PSBC) produces quality perinatal data and information through the British Columbia Perinatal Data Registry (BCPDR), a quality-controlled database containing clinical information on all births collected from obstetrical facilities throughout the province of British Columbia.
