Project analysis slide 8 CHALLENGES AMONG REFERRALS Challenges Recommendations. Babies brought in very sick with severe asphyxia, low APGAR scores , window for intervention is usually small. ( TMR HOSPITAL , KISENYI HCIV) Some facilities are still low on pre referral communication. Feedback being given to referral units Communication prior to referral– baby should have documentation on whether communication done
Project analysis slide 8 Kawempe born challenges (OBGY and SCU) Challenges Recommendations. S ome staff are using students to transfer babies to special care unit and yet these students don’t fill in the admission forms correctly. We still don’t have iv ampicillin and burretes Staffs should escort babies to SCU and complete the documentation in the admission files and book.
POSITIVES The unit acquired a new printer so we shall be able to print out our discharges Timely response by the biomedical engineers Most of the drugs and supplies are available especially Surfactant and oxygen cylinders Fewer power outages
