The Challenge of NICU QI: Getting Better at
Getting Better
The California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative(CPQCC) invites neonatal teams to attend a one-day interactive workshop with a focus on successful quality improvement in the NICU. This meeting will guide units and hospital representatives through the process of:• Identification of QI topics that will help to integrate the
NICU into the broader hospital QI plan
• Use of existing data resources to identify priority issues
as well as benchmarks and metrics for evaluating theprocess• Developing change packages that are evidence based
and reliable• In addition, teams from facilities that have implemented
highly successful QI projects will share their successes,
strategies and lessons learned using congenital heartdisease screening as an example
OBJECTIVES
Following the lectures, discussions, review of facility specificdata and policies as well as group activities, participants will
be able to:
1. Identify key drivers of quality improvement activities
within your own NICU and hospital
2. Discuss available resources for data to identify and drive
the quality improvement process in your unit
3. Describe the impact of National Core Measures in theselection of QI topics and activities
4. Identify key components of successful change packages
5. Describe methods of developing and using metrics toevaluate the QI process in your unit
6. Develop collaborative partners with other CPQCC
facilities with similar QI priorities to potentially workwith on joint QI projects
