Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Public Health
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Sudden unexpected infant death is a leading cause of postneonatal mortality in the U.S., often linked to unsafe sleep environments.
  • Standardized infant sleep environment education can significantly impact infant mortality rates.
  • Hospital-acquired condition (HAC) models offer a framework for improving health outcomes through standardized safety protocols.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt the HAC model for measuring and enhancing adherence to safe sleep guidelines within a children's hospital.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a hospital-wide safe sleep bundle in improving infant sleep environments.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a hospital-wide safe sleep bundle starting September 15, 2017.
  • Monthly performance improvement team meetings utilizing plan-do-study-act cycles for iterative improvements.
  • Monthly audits from March 2017 to October 2019 to monitor safe sleep parameters, with adherence measured using statistical process control charts (p-charts).

Main Results:

  • Overall compliance with safe sleep guidelines increased from 9% to 72%.
  • Specific improvements observed: head of bed flat (62% to 93%), sleep space free of extra items (52% to 81%), and caregiver education completion (10% to 84%).
  • Infant positioning in the supine position remained consistently high at 81% adherence.

Conclusions:

  • The HAC bundle safety prevention model is a viable and effective strategy for improving infant safe sleep guidelines adherence.
  • This approach successfully enhanced the sleep environment for infants across all departments of a children's hospital.
  • Standardized interventions are crucial for reducing risks and improving outcomes related to sudden unexpected infant death.
