Mission

To improve the quality and safety of medical care for newborn infants and their families through a coordinated program of research, education, and quality improvement projects.

About

Quality Improvement & Education NICQ 2018-19 continues the series of intensive improvement collaboratives sponsored by Vermont Oxford Network. Interdisciplinary teams from 56 institutions in North America are working together to improve the quality and safety of medical care for newborn infants and their families by integrating the concepts of family-integrated care, teams and teamwork, the sequence to achieve change, increased value, and standardization into their collaborative improvement work, addressing: Optimizing Outcomes of the Micro-Premature Infant; Optimizing Nutrition and Reducing Necrotizing Enterocolitis; and Multi-system: Minimizing Brain Injury and Minimizing Lung Injury. This project commenced in January 2018 and has been extended to continue through December 2020. iNICQ Web Conference Series iNICQ 2018 Choosing Antibiotics Wisely - Overuse and misuse of antibiotics is common in NICUs. In fact, studies show a 40-fold variation in prescribing practices across NICUs (as described by Schulman et al in Pediatric, May 2015 within 127 California NICUs). Alert to the growing danger, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified antibiotic overuse as one of the top five targets for improvement, and has proposed core elements for hospital based antibiotic stewardship programs designed to promote appropriate use of antibiotics., the CDC worked collaboratively with VON in the development of iNICQ 2018 Choosing Antibiotics Wisely.While hospitals often have antibiotic stewardship teams focused on adult patients, iNICQ 2018 focused specifically on key components of antibiotic stewardship programs within NICUs. The iNICQ Collaborative center-level improvement teams pioneered evidenced based best practices that will reduce the overuse of antibiotics, while bringing much-needed standardized protocols and baseline data for hospitals to share. In addition to collaborating with the CDC, iNICQ 2018 was led by key neonatology experts from Choosing Wisely in Neonatology, an initiative of the ABM Foundation. A total of 155 hospitals from 38 states, 8 countries and Puerto Rico participated in 2018 along with statewide partners from Colorado, Georgia, Oregon & Southwest Washington, Tennessee, West Virginia and Alaska and health-system partners from Piedmont, Cleveland Clinic, Indiana University Health and Inova.Annual Quality Congress - The 2018 Vermont Oxford Network Annual Quality Congress was held on September 20 -24, 2018 in Chicago, IL. The aim of the 2018 Annual Quality Congress was is to bring together parents, leading academic neonatologists, scientists and practicing clinicians in neonatal medicine to discuss and determine the current status of knowledge and evidence-based content addressing a variety of neonatal patient care needs and dilemmas in the field to improve the care of preterm infants and family centered care. The topics included: Using the NICU Wisely, Follow Through: Care Beyond the NICU Walls, Artificial Intelligence and You, and The Developing Brain. The agenda also included: The QI Science Poster Session featuring State and Regional Group Posters, Family Centered Care Posters and NICU Improvement Story Posters. The meeting was attended by 1378 health professionals and parent representatives from the United States and around the world
