FUTURE PLANS FOR 2011-2012

Better diagnosis of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome thereby preventing uncontrolled withdrawal.

Better identification of women who are abusing illicit substances through skilled interviews so that prenatal treatment can occur and baby is born without NAS.

Improvement in fetal monitoring skills to prevent fetal hypoxia.

Timely and appropriate intervention during the emergency of postpartum hemorrhage that will prevent anemia, DIC, and emergency hysterectomies, or loss of life.

Targeted training for community-based nurses to stabilize and care for premature, or ill neonates until transport arrives.

Improve adherence to AWHONN’s Standards among the delivering hospitals.

Care and treatment of the preeclamptic mother to prevent morbidity and mortality.
