Why Are We Here? The story of Gabby and her family s lost dreams Watch the story as told by her Dad, working with the PQCNC CLABSI Project
What will success look like? Processes OBs and nurses will talk to high risk moms at every contact to help them plan to initiate early pumping Moms of high risk infants will start expressing milk early and often - to assure an adequate supply for their infant in the NICU and after D/C Outcomes Lower Rates of Infection in high risk NICU infants Costs savings (less $ for donor milk)
How do we do it? Milk is Medicine - Liquid Gold My spirits lifted when I learned there was something I could do to help, Christie Lillie She remembers nurses referring to mother s milk as liquid gold and that made her realize how special every single drop of her milk was Christie and DJ Nemo Lillie

Drivers and Changes to Close the Gap OB & NEO PARTNERSHIP TO MOVE THE DOTS
OB and Neo Partnership to Promote Human Milk for High Risk Infants Eliminate late onset (>72hrs) bacterial blood stream and CSF infections in infants in Ohio NICUs Aim SMART AIM By June 2013 we will reduce late onset (>72 hrs.) blood stream/csf infections in infants 22-29 weeks gestational age to < 10% in Ohio NICUs For all infants 22-29 weeks GA: 1)HM begun within 72 hrs. in >80%. 2) 100 ml/kg/day of HM by 21 days of life >95%) - MOM maximized - DM minimized - Formula eliminated Key Drivers Expert knowledge staff across all disciplines and units Ensure supportive care transitions across multiple disciplines and units All pregnant women receive education about the benefits (for both mother and infant) of breastfeeding/hm for high risk infants Evidenced based care practices that supports breastfeeding and provision of MBM for high risk infants at time of mother s Admission Evidenced based care practices that supports breastfeeding and provision of MBM for mothers of all high risk infants while in L&D Evidenced based care practices that supports breastfeeding and provision of MBM for all infants while mom in hospital Administrative/Leadership to promote and support breastfeeding and use of HM Practice Changes All staff ( OB, Prenatal, Antepartum, L&D, Mother-Baby, NICU, Transport Team, Pediatrics post discharge) educated in the benefits of breastfeeding for both mother and infant and specifically human milk for preterm high risk population. Job descriptions and competencies reflect knowledge and skills related to care of breastfeeding dyad All staff provide consistent messages and support to initiate and promote continued expression/pumping of human milk for NICU patients throughout care continuum All women should be informed of the benefits of breastfeeding for both mother an infant and specifically the benefit of human milk for preterm high risk infants Consider using OPQC Handout Partnering in your NICU Infant s Care Antenatal consult (NICU team) on admission for high risk mothers (admitted for preterm labor or other complications) All Mothers should be shown (by trained L&D nurse) how to hand express colostrum after delivery Expressed colostrum collected and given to NICU or transport team Encourage frequent hands on pumping (using both hands and pump) throughout hospital course to promote lactogenesis and adequate supply. (see Jane Morton video ttp://newborns.stanford.edu/breastfeeding/maxproduction.html for rationale and instructions.

Improving Breastfeeding Rates for Mothers/Infants at Nationwide Children s NICU at Riverside Marsha Dumm MS,RD,LD 20
100% of infants whose mother s have expressed the desire to breast feed will be put to breast at least once daily on the days mother visits beginning June 2013 and be sustained indefinitely. Larger Aim NICQ 8 All infants will achieve full oral feeds by 37 weeks Vermont Oxford Network NICQ 8 21
Concurrent events created the ideal atmosphere to advance our aim. OPQC Extensive data collectionhour of first feed of EBM, amount of EBM/Donor milk received in first 72 hours, day 21. Riverside s Baby Friendly Initiative BF education for all RMH L&D,MIU RNs, OBs, Peds Lactation Riverside L&D, MI NICU Cue based feeding comm. Educated staff on scoring infant at breast Additional LC support 32 hours per schedule from LC/NICU RN Vermont Oxford Network NICQ 8 22
February 2013 1-3-6 Rule to Promote Early Pumping (See next slide) April 2013 Non-nutritive Suck at Breast Guideline Approved June 2013 Standing OB postpartum order set Breast Care: Lanolin cream PRN sore nipples Mother to begin breast pump within 3-6 hours of delivery if baby admitted to NICU/NSCU Mother/Family Education-Broadcast UCSD Supporting Preterm Infant Nutrition Step 1: Skin to skin Step 2: First time at breast Vermont Step 3: Learning to breastfeed Oxford Step 4: Getting better at breastfeeding Network Step 5: Getting ready to go home NICQ 8 23

Should our resources be directed at educating nurses or families? Educating staff would be a more stable/consistent way of standardizing processes. Staff turnover <7% annually. Would adding one more task to RN responsibilities be reasonable. Current orientation and annual updates include BF education, but there is not strong support for cementing the mother/infant BF dyad. For infants that go to breast more frequently, it appears that the mother is the driving force in the process. Broadcast of UCSD info is planned, but do we have adequate resources to provide information to 90% of 600 admissions. We can teach, but how can we fully motivate and support. Vermont Oxford Network NICQ 8 25
Team members have worked individually and as a group on various improvement projects and standardization efforts: Skin-to-skin care, cue based feeds, discharge planning, feeding advancement/standardized use of nipples We are convinced that Interdisciplinary membership increases the collective intelligence and deepens our understanding of the problem. We are lucky to have 2 neonatologists participating in this project and believe that MD involvement is imperative to move a project forward. Nationwide Children s has a well defined strategy for quality efforts with a medical director for the division and a dedicated specialist from the QI department and quarterly meetings for the entire team.
