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

Volunteer families can ask new NICU families how they want to contribute. Most are enthusiastic to share their experiences!

How to engage/partner w/ NICU families? @LelisVernon, family advisor, & Sue Bowles, RN FPQC clinical lead, discuss. Use volunteer NICU families to engage other families! @NicholsonCenter #FPQC #HomewardBound #NICU #Discharge
