Overview

If you could rate the safety and quality of oral feedings on your unit, would you rate 5/5? If not, then this webinar is for you. Premature and medically complex infants deserve feedings that are safe and neuroprotective. This one- hour webinar will describe the current state of the science of oral feeding related to supporting safety and quality. Attendees will learn information and strategies for improving current feeding practices, including a supportive feeding culture, evidence-based products and practices, and sustainability. This webinar will also include one hospital’s story of how changing feeding products and practices led to improvement of safety and quality of oral feedings, and how your hospital can make the transition as well. Question and answer period will follow presentation. Target audience includes OT, SLP, PT, RN, MD, and other neonatal professionals.

Learning Outcomes

After attending this webinar, the learner will be able to:

1. Predict at least two reasons for reduced safety and quality of oral feedings in the neonatal unit.
2. Explain at least one evidence-based finding that describes variables in oral feeding that can lead to unsafe feedings.
3. Relate at least two interventions to improve safety and quality of feedings in the neonatal unit.
