Presenter: Sandra Dunn, BORN Ontario, Ottawa ON

 

Purpose: As part of a study examining the effectiveness of an electronic audit and feedback system (Maternal Newborn Dashboard (MND)) to improve maternal-newborn care in Ontario, we aimed to improve our understanding of factors that explain variability in six key performance indicators (KPIs) post-MND implementation. This presentation reports our findings on KPI 3: Formula supplementation in term infants whose mothers intended to breastfeed.

 

Learning Objectives:

• Describe facilitators to decreasing the rate of formula supplementation in term infants in a sample of Ontario hospitals.
• Describe barriers to decreasing the rate of formula supplementation in term infants in a sample of Ontario hospitals.
• Identify organizational strategies for enhancing facilitators and addressing barriers to decrease medically unnecessary formula supplementation in hospital.

Authors: Linda Young MScN, EdD, CHE; Hiltrud Dawson RN, BTech, IBCLC

 

Presenters: Linda Young and Hiltrud Dawson, Michael Garron Hospital, Toronto ON

 

Purpose: The BFI Strategy for Ontario has been developing a number of high-quality, evidence-informed resources and uses client-informed and client-centred strategies to meet the needs of families, health care providers and policy-makers working in perinatal health. The use of these resources and strategies can be cost-effective, less resource-intensive and provides consistent language and practices to support the implementation of BFI best practices.

 

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the resources developed and strategies used by the BFI Strategy for Ontario.
• Learn about the process used to develop resources including their extensive stakeholder involvement.
• Examine and discuss how these can be used at an organizational or provincial level to build capacity to implement BFI best practices.
