Through participation in the CPQCC Delivery Room Management Quality Improvement Collaborative, Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center was able to improve normothermia rates from 40% to 67% at the end of the 12-month intervention period. The team went on to reach and maintain its goal normothermia rate of above 90% for all infants from 2014-2016. Kaiser Fontana Medical Center’s success demonstrates the importance of the collaborative QI model in helping centers achieve and sustain improvements in neonatal care.
