Grant to fund project on improving care for newborns with jaundice

The AAP Division of Quality Care and Harvard University received a five-year $2,449,039 grant from the Agency for Health Care Policy Research for a project called "Improving Quality Care for Newborns with Jaundice." The Packard Foundation is co-funding the first year with $49,550.

Project participants will develop and evaluate a model for a collaborative quality improvement program to implement the AAP practice guideline for the care of healthy term newborns with jaundice in loosely structured managed care organizations (MCOs.) The model will address how MCOs can improve quality among professionals and organizations with whom they have contractual leverage but not direct control.
