PROBLEM STATEMENT
In January of 2014, The Joint Commission began mandating that hospitals with > 1,100 births per year, report the percent of newborns that were fed breast milk only from the time of birth to the time of discharge.
From July 2012 to December 2012, 53% of eligible newborns at TNMC were fed breast milk exclusively.
DEFINE
Data recorded manually by Lactation Consultants for every newborn until automated in August 2013 with OneChart report
Goal: top 10th percentile of UHC
Top 10th percentile value unknown as new core measure and comparison data not yet available
MEASURESExclusive breastfeeding
# Newborns fed breast milk only since birth # Single, term newborns discharged alive
Skin-to-skin contact at birth# Newborns with immediate, uninterrupted SSC until after 1st
feed
# Term, singleton, healthy newborns
ANALYZESupplementation50% of breastfed newborns were supplemented with non-breastmilk (Jan’13)
Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) at birthLiterature review for evidence-based best practices revealed SSC to be the hospital practice most highly correlated with exclusive breastfeeding during hospitalization
20% of healthy term newborns received skin-to-skin contact at birth (mother interviews, Jan’13)
ANALYZE
Benefits of skin-to-skin contact at birth• Physiologic stability
oRespirations, temperature, glucose levels, decreased crying & stress
• Promotes attachment behaviorsoShort-term and long-term
• Increased exclusive breastfeeding in hospital• Longer duration of breastfeeding
Critical X’s Solution
Supplementation with non-human milk
Follow provider orders not to supplement breastfed newborns without first notifying provider. Documentation of informed decision or medical indication for supplementation with non-human milk. Education to providers, nurses and parents on indications for supplementation.
Limited skin-to-skin contact at birth
Implement evidence-based practice of Skin-to-skin contact at birth
IMPROVE – CHARACTERISTICS OF INNOVATION
Skin-to-skin contact at birth has been recommended by leading health organizations since 1998 (WHO, AAP, ABM, NRP)
Relatively simple
Requires change in work flow
Numerous benefits
