Webinars kick off Baseline Data Collection
|
|
Welcome to all the teams who have joined the PQCNC 2010-11 Initiative to increase exclusive breastfeeding in the well, term infant. At each hospital teams are convening around the first task of collecting baseline data. Click here to print the tool for data collection and click here for the instructions for data collection. We will have a meeting (phone only) on October 13 at 9 am to discuss data collection; please have at least one member of the team participate. The call-in number is 919-962-2730. Encourage your staff to just document what's going on during the baseline data collection and resist the urge to change practices right now. Your team will leave the January learning session ready to address practices that support moms and babies for exclusive breastfeeding.

Online data entry coming soon

 All baseline data is collected on paper forms. When the form is complete place the infant hospital stamp/sticker on the form. In December we will be coaching data entry personnel to use the program on the PQCNC website. Each patient will be assigned a unique ID and no HPI will be entered into the program. Now is the time to begin your planning for data entry; I will ask you to share your preliminary plans with us on our second phone meeting about data collection. We will have a meeting (phone only) on October 28 at 2 pm to discuss data collection; please have at least one member of the team participate. The call-in number is 919-962-2730.

| Timeline and Dates to Remember |
|
October and November: baseline data collection, 50-60 babies of term gestation that are not transferred to a special care nursery each month for high volume units, all admissions of term gestation that are not transferred to a special care nursery each month in low volume units.
December: Data entry
January 18th in Raleigh, or January 20th in Winston Salem: Each team will attend as a group only one of the learning sessions. Details about the day will be provided later in October; please begin thinking about which team members might be part of the "travel team." We suggest that the home team be as inclusive and as large as you can manage the travel team will be limited to 6 individuals representing key stakeholder groups.
February 23rd, March 23rd, and April 27th: Monthly webinars from 2-4 pm to provide education and coaching during the action period for improvement activities. |
