Evaluation and Development of Potentially Better Practices to Prevent Chronic Lung Disease and Reduce Lung Injury in Neonates

Abstract

Collaborative use of quality improvement techniques resulted in creation of a logical, efficient, and effective process to improve CLD rates. Group creation of PBPs, based on literature review and reinforced with site visits, internal data analysis, and improved individual site outcomes, resulted in accelerated and effective change, unlikely to occur if attempted outside of the collaborative.
