Official title:
Alberta (AB) Collaborative Quality Improvement Strategies to Improve Outcomes of Preterm Infants 32 - 36 Weeks' Gestation: A Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial
The ABC-QI Trial aims to implement collaborative quality improvement (QI) strategies to standardize care for 32-36 week infants in Level 2 and 3 Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) across the province of Alberta. The investigators want to know if using validated quality improvement methods and evidence-based care bundles will decrease the duration of hospital stay and get babies home as quickly as possible.
A stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial will be conducted in 12 NICUs across Alberta (10 Level II and 2 Level III). Each NICU is considered a cluster and will be randomized to transition to the intervention arm at one of three time points. The planned trial interventions include: Intervention arm (Collaborative QI Strategies): The study intervention is a constellation of collaborative QI strategies: 1) QI Team Building; 2) QI Education; 3) Implementation of 2 standardized practice care bundles (Respiratory Care, and Nutritional Care); 4) QI mentoring; and 5) Collaborative networking. Based on the randomization, 4 NICUs will transition to the intervention arm at the end of each year. Control arm (current management): All participating NICUs will be in the control arm during the first year prior to randomization to create a baseline of the current practices and between-units variation. NICUs in the control arm can continue conducting QI activities relevant to current practice, but without receiving the interventions outlined above. ;
