Mary Ellen Boisvert gives tips for QI for maternity leaders:

-Set expectations
-Create a timeline
-Make careful definitions of every important term (i.e., what is "immediate skin-to-skin"?)
-Establish subgroups (and leaders) and document
-Develop action plans (small, simple projects assigned to a person and track -document- the action plan)
-Track what works and what doesn't work (and why) on forms
