A broad based group from Neonatology, Nursing, Quality Improvement, Family Support, and Infection Control met to develop the detail and scope of the infection control processes that we want to spread to each ICU joining us in the state. CPQCC and the Ohio Perinatal Quality Collaborative (OPQC) have done a lot of work on this same project over the last few years.
During the course of several meetings wide-ranging discussions, supported by literature reviews, clinical expertise, and best practices developed across the country, were held to develop PQCNC's optimum infection control protocols and begin to outline the change packages we plan to disseminate.
