Objective
The objective of this initiative was to increase the proportion of infants born in participating hospitals receiving the benefits of delayed cord clamping (DCC) for at least 60 seconds to a minimum of 90% for each facility.
Conclusions
This report highlights the successful implementation of DCC practices through the state’s perinatal QI collaborative. Evidence-based QI initiatives can significantly enhance uptake of recommended practices and improve infant care during birth.
