Abstract
The goal of this quality improvement project at the Oregon Health and Science University Faculty Midwifery Practice was to promote consistent breastfeeding education for day-of-discharge postpartum patients. The intervention was based on the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Plan-Do-Study-Act framework. An infographic that detailed evidence-based lactation information and resources was created. A voice-over slide deck describing the rationale and workflow was disseminated to all midwives and midwifery students prior to participating in inpatient postpartum care during the project timeline. A daily survey was administered to the midwives querying whether the infographic was discussed with eligible patients and whether midwives felt prepared to answer lactation questions
