Example Team AIM StatementBy September 2016, we AIM to reduce infant sleep-related deaths for all infants discharged from our hospital. We will do this by improving safe sleep practices for infants while in our hospital and by educating caregivers about safe sleep prior to discharge. To accomplish this, we will form a multidisciplinary team (with members from our OB and neonatal care units) and work to implement evidence based strategies to reduce infant mortality and achieve our goals, including:

(1) > 10% Increase in infants placed to sleep in a safe sleep environment during hospitalization (based on crib audit)

(2) Documented education for > 95% of caregivers prior to discharge

(3) > 95% of caregivers reporting prior to discharge they understand safe sleep educational messages (infant to sleep alone, on back in crib)
