Deploying POKE Within Intermountain Healthcare

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Newborn; Infection

In brief

To assess the impact of POKE on babies, the investigators will longitudinally track outcomes before and after implementation at Intermountain Healthcare's five NICUs. Process outcomes will include the number of total POKEs per baby and the number of painful POKEs per baby, each measured at both the patient-level and NICU-level. Clinical outcomes will include hospital acquired infections, length of stay, and mortality. Financial outcomes will include total variable costs and backfill rate. The effect of POKE on each of these outcomes will be measured using multivariable regression analysis with appropriate distributional families and interaction terms.
