23 Questions

24 We ve been through a few changes

25 Competing QI Priorities of Hospital Breastfeeding might not be at the top of the list just saying Frame the medical issue with statistical significance of best practices Relate to core strategic values and community health objectives Accreditation, patient satisfaction and standard of care

26 The Joint Commission Accreditation Perinatal Care Core Measure Set PC-01 PC-02 PC-03 PC-04 PC-05 Elective delivery Cesarean section Antenatal steroids Health care associated bloodstream infections in newborns Exclusive breast milk feeding

27 Mission is to help members provide high quality health care and to improve the health status of the communities they serve Bring hospitals together to achieve excellent patient care and community health far beyond the capacity of individual hospitals

28 Mentoring and technical assistance to hospitals for perinatal QI measures Develop communication networks among agencies, providers, and individuals to exchange information Promote access to appropriate levels of high quality care. Funding is provided by Federal Title V MCH Block Grant Funds

29 Institute for Healthcare Improvement Bring together teams from different hospitals to seek improvement in specific topic areas Provide structure for organizations to learn from each other and from recognized experts

32 REGIONAL BREASTFEEDING QI TASKFORCE Perinatal Hospitals of Alameda County and Contra Costa County

33 Effective hospital QI involves collaboration among institutions Why a Taskforce? Accelerates circulation of existing knowledge Provides insight into how centers with the best outcomes are able to implement successful changes that improve outcomes Moral support!

34 Purpose Convene multidisciplinary breastfeeding quality improvement teams from perinatal hospitals throughout Alameda County and Contra Costa County to collaborate on resource sharing and systems development to improve exclusive breastfeeding rates and health equity. If you want something you ve never had before You ve got to do something you ve never done before

35 Effective QI Teams Three different kinds of expertise within the organization: system leadership technical expertise day-to-day leadership There may be one or more individuals on the team with each kind of expertise, or one individual may have expertise in more than one area, but all three areas should be represented in order to drive improvement successfully - Institute for Healthcare Improvement

36 Multidisciplinary Quality Improvement Team Including the right people on an improvement team is critical to a successful improvement effort. Lactation Specialist(s) Education and Lactation Nurse Practitioner Clinical Nurse Specialist(s) Nurse Manager(s) Pediatricians Neonatologists Obstetricians Family Practice Physician Former Patient Midwifery/OB Director Clinical Director(s) Unit Manager(s) Coordinator of Childbirth Program Director Clinical Education and Development Risk/Quality Management Hospital CEO/COO Community Relations Dietitian

54 Celebrating success along the way!

55 LOI Baby Friendly!

56 RBQIT helps us to build the fire and passion by giving us tools and resources to bring back to my facility that affect real changes towards Baby Friendly. For example our implementation of the Golden Hour with skin to skin, and clarifying our supplementation protocols. (Eden Medical Center) The Taskforce helped us develop our BF committee and understand who should be involved and how to get their buy in for change. For years it was just ME! Now we hired another IBCLC, we have a policy, and we ve locked up the formula in the PYXIS! (Sutter Delta)

57 Taskforce participation has given us ideas on how to get Administrative buy in which we have struggled with! It motivates our hospital team to keep going! (Contra Costa Regional Medical Center) We are learning about standards of care at other hospitals in the community and bringing the information back to our manager. It s great to learn about how we can do our own education and also hear about educational opportunities in the community. (Valley Care Medical Center)

58 It s sharing and networking to learn what is going on at different facilities and services offered for our patients especially WIC! (Sutter Delta)

59 The systems within which your hospitals work and receive QI support are resources for advancing breastfeeding by bringing administrators and quality engineers on board in partnership with WIC. Consider the hospital/systems core strategic values and community health objectives. Relate these to the medical issues from sub-standard care. Use WIC data to demonstrate need. Promote opportunities to bring hospitals together especially those that have achieved Baby Friendly with those that are striving for it.
