Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
Introduction To Health Care Delivery System01:18

Introduction To Health Care Delivery System

The healthcare system is constantly changing and complex. Various services are available from different healthcare providers, but gaining access to these services has become challenging for people with limited healthcare insurance. Uninsured people present a challenge to healthcare because they frequently postpone or forego treatment.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) advocates for a patient-centered, effective, safe, timely, equitable, and effective healthcare system. The National Priorities...
Development of the Oral Microbiota01:28

Development of the Oral Microbiota

The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...
Fundamentals of Nursing Process II01:25

Fundamentals of Nursing Process II

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...
Parental Care00:55

Parental Care

Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Area of Science:

  • Maternal and Child Health
  • Public Health Interventions
  • Lactation Science

Background:

  • Hospital practices often create barriers to exclusive breastfeeding, failing to meet WHO and NYSDOH recommendations.
  • Exclusive human milk feeding is crucial for newborn health and development.
  • Existing care models require transformation to effectively support breastfeeding mothers and infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a transformed maternity care delivery model supporting exclusive breastfeeding.
  • To identify and overcome barriers hindering exclusive breastfeeding at hospital discharge.
  • To align hospital policies and practices with recommended best practices for breastfeeding support.

Main Methods:

  • Participated in the New York State (NYS) Breastfeeding Quality Improvement in Hospitals Learning Collaborative starting in 2010.
  • Evaluated and modified all aspects of mother/baby care delivery.
  • Focused on improving hospital policies, staff education, and direct mother/infant support.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a significant increase in exclusive breastfeeding rates, rising from 6% to 44%.
  • Enhanced hospital policies, practices, and systems to be consistent with NYS regulations and best practices.
  • Improved staff knowledge and skills in lactation support, empowering mothers to breastfeed successfully.

Conclusions:

  • Transforming maternity care delivery models can substantially improve exclusive breastfeeding rates.
  • A collaborative, multi-faceted approach involving policy, education, and support is effective.
  • Changing hospital culture and social norms is vital for sustained breastfeeding success.
