A Joint Commission and PPH Education Opportunity
Offered by Creche Innovations
For your hospital’s clinicians to function optimally during a PPH, everyone must know the procedures to follow. PPH education should be done during new employee orientations, when you make changes in procedures, and every two years. Ensuring all clinicians are up to date on education will make an impressionable impact on maternal outcomes. Is it time for a refresher course on PPH? Join us in 2024 as we take you from A to Z: On American’s Maternal Mortality Crisis with Four, COMPLIMENTARY CE-Accredited Webinar Classes. Sign up by clicking on the links below.

The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program is an educational tool for community hospital caregivers, developed to serve as a concise guideline for the pre-transport stabilization and care of sick newborns. The program is designed for the period following successful resuscitation of the newborn. All hospitals need to be prepared for a newborn who becomes sick and requires post-resuscitation stabilization and/or transport. Before arrival of the transport team, community hospital caregivers should anticipate, recognize, and effectively correct problems as they arise. The goal of all transport teams is to transport a well-stabilized infant, minimizing adverse outcomes. This goal is best achieved when stabilization is promptly and effectively initiated by hospital caregivers.
