Improving Discharge Management

VON’s Improving Discharge Management QI Toolkit describes five “potentially better practices” (PBPs) to improve the neonatal discharge process as well as, for each PBP, an aim, a measure, a list of suggested changes, and tips and tools for implementing changes that include potential barriers to implementation. The toolkit is based on the framework of the “Model for Improvement,” which was first developed by Associates for Process Improvement based on the teachings of W. Edwards Deming.
