How did we decide on NICU discharge as our next QI initiative? Data Manager Dr. Estefania Rubio explains how we got here, as well as the basics of key driver diagrams. #FPQC #NICU #HomewardBound #KeyDriverDiagram #Discharge
Many NICUs are reticent to perform Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) screening on moms because they are not the patient. However, some NICUs are now screening and referring moms who screen positive to social work. #PTSD #PPD #FPQC #HomewardBound #Screening #Discharge
Screening for Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) at admission is a new CMS requirement. As of 1/2024, referral documentation will also be required. Our initiative prepares hospitals for this shift! FPQC Lead Dr. Patoula Panagos-Biliris discusses. #FPQC #HRSN #NICU #HomewardBound
