Perinatal Quality Improvement Efforts in Florida William M. Sappenfield, MD, MPH FPQC Co-Director Lawton and Rhea Chiles Center for Healthy Mothers and Babies University of South Florida College of Public Health
Vision Mission Advance perinatal health care quality and patient safety for all of Florida’s mothers and infants through the collaboration of Florida Perinatal Quality Collaborative (FPQC) stakeholders in the development of joint quality improvement initiatives, the advancement of data-driven best practices and the promotion of education and training. All of Florida’s mothers and infants will have the best health outcomes possible through receiving high quality evidence-based perinatal care.
State Perinatal Quality Collaborative Functions Promote Maternal & Infant quality improvement (QI)projects Support hospitals & providers develop & implement tailored guidelines Offer QI initiative process & outcome indicators Educate/train providers in quality improvement Provide advice on implementing change Values: Voluntary, Population-based, Data-driven, Evidence-based, Value-added

Banner Opportunity • Many hospitals have implemented hard stops for Early Elective Delivery – for those who have successfully reduced their rate below 5%, the March of Dimes and ACOG District XII offer recognition through their Banner program. 49 Florida hospitals have qualified for a banner
Neonatal Catheter Associated Blood Stream Infections(NCABSI)
Where We Started Individual hospitals tracked their own data and reported through CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Rates NOT reported through Vermont Oxford Network (VON) No comprehensive statewide plans for infection reduction National collaboratives combined had a baseline of 2.51 infections per 1000 line days Baseline rate in Florida from NHSN data was 2.96 infections per 1000 line days
Neonatal Catheter Associated Blood Stream Infections NCABSI/FPQC—Dec. 2011 to Aug. 2013 Phase II Phase I Expanded from 9 states in Phase I to 13 states in Phase II (FL 58.8% Reduction)
Where We’ve Come Based on current central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates as of August 2013. Mortality rate 12.3%, increased length of stay of 8 days and estimated average cost of $53,000 per infection.
Obstetric Hemorrhage Initiative • Obstetric hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal mortality in Florida Objective: Improved outcomes in morbidity and mortality related to obstetric hemorrhage, including hysterectomies and massive transfusions Meets new national guidelines for OB patient safety
Key OHI QI Elements Readiness • Develop an Obstetric Hemorrhage Protocol • Develop a Massive Transfusion Protocol • Construct an OB Hemorrhage Cart • Ensure Availability of Medications and Equipment Recognition • Antepartum Risk Assessment • Quantification of Blood Loss • Active Management of the Third Stage of Labor Response • Perform Interdisciplinary Hemorrhage Drills • Debrief after OB Hemorrhage Events
OHI • 31 Florida hospitals and 4 North Carolina hospitals • 18-24 month initiative • Hospital applicant data indicated improvement needed • Assessment of risk for OB hemorrhage upon hospital admission • Quantification of blood loss
Project Data: Risk Assessment Percent of hospitals that assessed birthing women for risk of obstetric hemorrhage upon admission
Quantification of Blood Loss Percent of deliveries in all hospitals for which blood loss was quantified for vaginal deliveries
The Golden Hour • Transition from fetal neonatal life • Many complex physiologic changes • Interventions in this time period may affect: • Short term morbidities (e.g. thermoregulation, hypoglycemia) • Long term morbidities (e.g. chronic lung disease, retinopathy of prematurity, intraventricular hemorrhage) • Mortality While there is no direct causation, studies show a strong association
Golden Hour Part I:Delivery Room Management Objective: Improved outcomes in very low birth weight babies ≤30 6/7 weeks gestational age or ≤1500g birth weight
Delivery Room Management • Goal is to enhance teamwork and implement evidence-based practices on: • Teamwork • Thermoregulation • Oxygen administration • Delayed cord clamping • Hospital baseline data indicated major need in the areas of: • Assignment of delivery room team member roles • Delayed cord clamping (near 0%)
Golden Hour Pilot Hospitals NON-ACADEMIC St. Joseph’s Hospital Baptist Hospital Miami Florida Hospital Tampa South Miami Hospital Sarasota Memorial Hospital Broward Health Medical Center Plantation General Hospital ACADEMIC TGH/USF ACH/Johns Hopkins
Initiative-Wide Data Delayed Umbilical Cord Clamping
Indicator Project Partnered with DOH and AHCA to access existing linked birth certificates and hospital discharge data Recruited 7 hospital teams and 8 state organizations to consult on Florida’s pilot indicators and reports Develop both health care and data quality reports Consult national experts Test the use of pilot reports in pilot hospitals Use pilot efforts and plans to promote Florida development
Antenatal Corticosteroid Treatment (ACT) Includes FL, CA, IL, NY & TX Focus on ACOG & Joint Commission measure (PC-03) Also focus on the “sweet spot” Launch in Fall 2015
Antenatal Steroid Use for Infants 24-33 Weeks in 19 of Florida’s Vermont Oxford Network (VON) Hospitals, 2012 Median = 77
Primary Cesarean Sections • Higher risk of morbidity for mothers and neonates • Higher risk of health care cost • Florida had the 4th highest overall Cesarean section rate among U.S. states. • 38.1% of births in 2012, increasing since 1996 • Primary cesareans drive the increasing rate • Virtually all subsequent births will be by cesareans
Low-Risk First-Birth (Nulliparous Term Singleton Vertex)C-Sec Rate Among 116 Florida Hospitals Range: 6.6—59.5% Median: 31.3% Mean: 31.8% National Target =23.9% 21% of FL hospitals meet national target 41 Source: FL Vital Records, Dec 2013
