Implementation and Evaluation of the Obstetric Hemorrhage Patient Safety Bundle
Abstract
This project is an implementation program to be conducted at Ft. Belvoir Community Hospital. The goal of the project is to improve the readiness, recognition and response to obstetric hemorrhage through the implementation of a patient safety bundle that has been approved by the DoD Perinatal Quality and Safety Work-group. The implementation of this set of guidelines is complex because it is a full "bundle" of recommendations. Successful implementation will require the development a highly functioning multidisciplinary team that can respond effectively to the emergency obstetrical situation. Adding to the complexity is the need to address the lack of resources, such as an in-house blood bank at this size of institution, and the requirement for in-house practice drills. This project is a novel approach to implementing this patient safety bundle, and will be supported by collaborative efforts of an inter-professional team consisting of Tri-Service clinical staff at Ft. Belvoir and faculty from the Uniformed Services University.
