Yale New Haven Health Uses HealthStream Learning to Improve Infant Sleep Safety Training

This blog post recognizes the winner of the 2017 HealthStream Excellence Through Innovation Award for achievements in Authoring/Instructional Design.

Authoring/Instructional Design

The Yale New Haven Health (YNHH) system is the primary teaching hospital for Yale School of Medicine and Yale School of Nursing and includes hospitals, physicians, and related health services throughout Connecticut and into New York and Rhode Island. The Magnet-certified hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission and is a Level I trauma center for adult and pediatric patients. An ongoing challenge was the hospital’s Safe Sleep for Infants policy, which strictly limits crib contents while a child is unsupervised, was not being strictly followed by clinical staff.

Learners Used a Virtual Crib Environment to Better the Relationship Between Crib Contents and Safety

A mandatory education module was developed and assigned via HealthStream, and YNHH tracked staff compliance, to ensure everyone completed it. In the course, a virtual crib was represented that contained an infant patient and several items that staff could remove, watching them fly from the room as the course progressed. After the assignment of training, pediatric managers reported a 92% decline in instances of foreign items found in cribs. This significant reduction has significantly improved care for their most vulnerable patients. Delivering the education via HealthStream alleviated any need for live educational sessions, nor was printing several hundred copies of the policy now necessary. These two factors were estimated to have saved the hospital approximately $75,000 in wages, facilities use, and materials.
