NYSPQC Safe Sleep Project
December 20, 2016 12
Infant Sleep Related Mortality
- The ~90 infants who will die in New York State this
year due to sleeping in an unsafe environment are enough to fill five kindergarten classes
December 20, 2016 13
NYSPQC Safe Sleep Project
- Focuses on improving safe sleep practices to
reduce infant mortality
- Implements the national IM-CoIIN infant safe
sleep activities
- NYS hospitals participating in the NYSPQC
Safe Sleep Project are the state’s stakeholders in the national CoIIN Safe Sleep Network
December 20, 2016 14
NYSPQC Safe Sleep Project
- Improvements in safe sleep practices are being
achieved by:
– Ensuring all infant caregivers (i.e., new moms or guardians) have documentation of safe sleep education documented in the medical record; – Establishing consistent modeling of a safe sleep environment for all infants without a medical contraindication during the birth hospitalization; and – Discussing caregiver (i.e., new moms or guardians) understanding of infant safe sleep education prior to discharge from the birth hospitalization.
December 20, 2016 15
NYSPQC Safe Sleep Project
- Project began in September 2015
- 76 out of 125 (60.8%) NYS birthing
hospitals participating in the initiative:
– 17 Regional Perinatal Centers (RPCs) – 25 Level III birthing hospitals – 13 Level II birthing hospitals – 21 Level I birthing hospitals

Summary
- Improvement has been seen in all project
measures
- Between September 2015 and September 2016:
– The percent of medical records with documentation
- f education increased 8%;
– The percent of infants in a safe sleep environment has increased by 33%; and – The percent of caregivers who understand safe sleep practices increased by 15%.
December 20, 2016 28
Still Room for Improvement
- Hispanic and Black caregivers understand
safe sleep practices less frequently than White caregivers
- Caregivers insured by Medicaid or other
insurance understood safe sleep less frequently compared to those with private insurance
- Caregivers with lower levels of education
understood safe sleep less frequently than those with more than a high school education
