Is Eligibility clear for this project?

What if I don’t have any eligible babies for a calendar month?

calendar month based on the baby’s discharge date

Don’t worry! It’s easy to tell us!

• 1. Fill in the Checkbox and indicate the Month/Year you did not have any babies
• 2. Once the data entry system is ready – you will check this box and hit Submit
• 3. Do not fill out the rest of the paper form

Questions? This is how you tell OPQC that your hospital did not discharge any babies during a calendar month.

Discharge Readiness

• The next section of this form asks questions that determine

the discharge readiness of the baby.

• OPQC is asking you to pilot this form to obtain your feedback.

– Have we asked all the questions necessary to determine discharge readiness for this baby?

• We heard you! After the pilot phase we will add questions about nursing hours

approved and nursing hours actually scheduled. Thank you!

– Are there questions on this form that do not assist us with measuring discharge readiness? – Are the questions clear and easy to understand? – Do you have any concerns about the questions asked that are not addressed in the data entry guidelines?

Discharge Readiness

How did this section flow for you? Are the questions clear? Are the questions in the correct

• rder?

Suggestions? Comments?

Discharge Readiness

OPQC Needs your help with developing some key definitions Physiologically ready for discharge is determined at a minimum:

• Tolerating feeding regimen suitable for home
• Successfully transitioned to home ventilator on stable settings (if applicable)
• Supplemental oxygen flow suitable for home
• Off intravenous medications

Red Flag Action Plan

• What does this mean?
• OPQC values your input as we develop this portion of the project

Rooming in Checklist

• OPQC will provide an example of this checklist (after the pilot phase)
• Do you have a checklist that your site uses? Would you share it?
• What would you like to see on a checklist?

Is there agreement on this definition? Discussion?

Caregiver Readiness

OPQC is interested in the caregiver(s) perspective. Please ask the identified caregiver(s) to respond to this question.

• We are interested in hearing from you how you feel this question would be best

asked and answered by the identified caregiver(s)

• Interview
• Leave question in room for caregiver(s) to complete on their own on paper
• Other suggestions?
• Is this the right question to ask our families?
• Please share your ideas!

Readmission Questions

• Complete these forms if the baby has any readmissions

within 30 days after initial discharge from your center.

• If the baby did not have an emergency or observational

visit and/or an admission – these forms are not completed!

• Types of admissions that OPQC is tracking include:

– Emergency room visits including <23 hour observations – Unscheduled admissions – Scheduled admissions

Did we ask the questions you would expect for this section? Was this form easy to complete?

Emergency Room and Observational Visits

Was this visit preventable?

Unscheduled Admissions

Was this admission preventable?

Scheduled Admissions

Feedback for all ER/Readmission forms: Did we ask the questions you would expect for ER visits and/or readmissions? More questions? Less questions? Was this form easy to complete? Preventability form will be completed by a person designated by your team We need your input! We would like to have a few common reasons for a scheduled

• admission. Please tell

us what they are!

120 Day Check In

• 120 days after discharge please indicate if the baby is still alive
• Also at this time – please indicate if all data entry is complete for this baby

A note on the responses “Can’t Determine or Unknown” options. We recognize that these responses are at times the only response you can provide because you have no way of giving a definitive answer. Please use these options as sparingly as

• possible. A definitive answer strengthens our data and allows us to give you better

feedback!
