Over the past year, UAB Medicine clinicians have embraced a new mantra: “The pump stays with the patient.” Although simple in theory, the transition away from the former process of how IV pumps moved across our facilities has been a complex study in quality and process improvement. The initial problem was multifaceted; pumps were unavailable or not making it to units that needed them, surgeries were delayed because of setup issues, and one-way communication through the paging system created a serious communication issue that left staff wondering when exactly a pump would arrive, if at all.
As part of a designated “Baby-Friendly Hospital”, nurses at the UAB Women & Infants Center use evidence-based methods to provide new moms the information, confidence, and skills needed to successfully initiate and continue breastfeeding their babies. The benefits of breastmilk, especially for premature babies, extend well-beyond nutrition and bonding.
