And we're underway - September 2013

We are thrilled to say that the Patient and Family Engagement Initiative Kicked of last week at the McKimmon Center in Raleigh with a very successful first Learning Session! There was no lack of passion in the room as hospitals from across the state with representatives from both mom/baby and NICU teams came together to learn, share, and create plans to ensure that patients and their families would be partners in their improvement efforts. A special thanks to Sue Collier from the North Carolina Quality Center and Julie Barnes from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center for sharing their knowledge, expertise, and resources with all of us in attendance! This week, teams will meet via webinar to talk about their plans and begin data collection. We look forward to sharing more of their incredible work in the coming weeks…
