for Perinatal Care

Dear Colleagues:On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your commitment to improving perinatal outcomes in Wisconsin. In 2014, our core mission--improving perinatal outcomes through building and coordinating systems of care, education and information exchange, advocacy, and engagement of WAPC’s talented membership—continued to drive our accomplishments.2014 was a year of stunning accomplishments. First, WAPC managed the process of finding a new vendor for PeriData.Net®. and then orchestrating the migration of data to the new vendor. In addition, WAPC convened a group of nearly 200 stakeholders interested in finding better ways to identify and treat women and infants affected by opioids. WAPC also brought together a group of interested organizations to begin forming a statewide perinatal quality collaborative. The Prenatal Testing Committee published the fifth edition of Laboratory Testing in Pregnancy. All of these accomplishments were in addition to a very successful Annual Conference in Wisconsin Dells; the popular and well-attended Regional Forum Series on responding to the

challenges of caring for women and infants affected by opioids; the fourth Fetal Monitoring Lunch and Learn series; online and print publications; and most importantly, your continued commitment to making WAPC strong.WAPC members are our most valuable asset—the backbone and the strength of WAPC—who continually support the organization by promoting strategies to improve perinatal health outcomes. However, in 2014, WAPC encountered challenges to falling membership as it moved to calendar year memberships. The Membership Task Force, created in 2014, swung into action, creating a set of information slides that members could use in organized recruitment efforts, as well as an elevator speech for those membership opportunities that arise spontaneously. As we move into 2015, we will maintain our focus on building and maintaining a strong membership base.In addition to membership, WAPC will embrace new opportunities in 2015, namely implementing a Wisconsin perinatal quality collaborative and building support for a statewide blueprint for action to improve outcomes for women and infants affected by opioids. WAPC is well-positioned for this role with a four decade history of addressing relevant perinatal issues. Please join in the effort to make Wisconsin a place where every baby is born wanted and as healthy as possible.With continued gratitude for your commitment,

Jeanne Rosendale, MSN, RNC, C-EFMWAPC President

VISION AND MISSION




for Perinatal Care

PARTNERSHIPS

Perinatal Foundation: Improving perinatal outcomes for all through the innovative programs and projects is the common goal of the Perinatal Foundation and WAPC. In 2014, the Foundation provided nearly $154,000 to WAPC to support staffing and programs. Some of the programs that were possible with the Foundation’s support included the 2014 Annual Conference, Fetal Monitoring Lunch and Learn sessions, and the Regional Forum Series. In addition, the Perinatal Foundation supported enhancements and maintenance of PeriData.Net® and the WAPC/Perinatal Foundation Web site. Finally, with the support of the Perinatal Foundation, WAPC initiated the work of a Wisconsin perinatal quality collaborative, hosting monthly meetings and engaging stakeholders in identifying an initial project.

Designated Board positions:To create partnerships with other groups and organizations, the WAPC bylaws require the WAPC leadership to designate three Board positions for representatives from professional or consumer groups that intersect with the interests of WAPC. In 2014, the following representatives of the respective professional or consumer groups held Board positions:

• Deborah Larkey, MD, WI Section American Congress of Obstetricians & Gynecologists • Kelly Court, Wisconsin Hospital Association• Kiana L. Beaudin, PA-C, Ho Chunk Nation

The partnerships created by these positions had a positive impact on WAPC programs in 2014. These positive impacts included promoting educational materials to other professional and consumer audiences and securing volunteers and faculty for educational programs, such as the Regional Forum Series, Annual Conference, and the Fetal Monitoring Lunch and Learn sessions. The partnerships also created a positive impact on WAPC’s role in the broader health system. Examples of positive system impacts include advocacy, collaboration, and resource-sharing.

PARTNERSHIPS

Promoting perinatal health:Through funding from the State Maternal and Child Health Title V Block Grant, WAPC promoted perinatal health in the following ways:

• Advanced women’s health by continuing to engage partners and programs regarding pre- and interconception care and perinatal weight management

• Disseminated pre/interconception strategies through educational presentations, printed information, social media, and electronic communications

• Developed additional programs and partnerships to promote coordinated, high-quality, comprehensive care for women and infants affected by opioids by providing static and dynamic educational offerings, engaging a group of nearly 200 stakeholders to explore strategies to improve care, and enhancing access to evidence-based electronic information.

Improving Care for Women and Infants Affected by OpioidsOn July 25, 2014, WAPC convened a group of nearly 200 stakeholders to begin a discussion on developing a comprehensive model of care for women affected by opioids and their infants. Attendees listened to and interacted with a series of expert panels and offered their own insights into the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and barriers in the current environment.The input from the meeting on July 25 informed the curriculum for the 2014 Regional Forum Series. Overall, 391 participants attended the 2014 Regional Forum Series, Improving Care for Women and Infants Affected by Opioids. The curriculum responded to the needs of stakeholders and highlighted the value of coalitions, advocacy, resources, and education for improving care.

The Regional Forum Series featured the same curriculum repeated in each of the seven WAPC perinatal regions.

Fetal Monitoring Lunch and Learn Series: “Beyond the Basics: The Art and Science of Strip Interpretation”2014 was a landmark year for WAPC’s popular fetal monitoring distance education program. For the first time, WAPC offered access to archived sessions of the “Lunch and Learn” Webinars. The recorded Webinars are part of WAPC’s new Online Classroom. Learners had a choice as to whether to attend the live Webinar session held over the noon hour, or to access the recording in the online classroom at a time more convenient for them. The “Beyond the Basics” Webinar series provides an opportunity for busy health care providers to learn advanced fetal monitoring interpretation 24/7. Each session features a new and unique case, chosen and presented by WAPC’s fetal monitoring experts. Thank you to the following faculty for making the 2014 Series a success: Fredrik Broekhuizen, MD; Sara Bronson, RN, BSN; Kathy Frigge, RN, MSN; Janice McIntosh, BSN, RNC-OB, C-EFM; Jeanne Rosendale, MSN, RNC-Inpatient OB, C-EFM; and Chris Van Mullem, MS, RNC.

Laboratory Testing During Pregnancy, 5th EditionThis report offers evidence-based recommendations about laboratory tests that should be considered during the course of prenatal care. It was developed by the WAPC Prenatal Testing Committee, which began its work in 1995 and published the first edition of its recommendations in 1997. Subsequent revisions were published in 2000, 2006, and 2011. For the fifth edition, published in January of 2015, the Committee was under the leadership of Deborah Larkey, MD, and Cresta Jones, MD, FACOG. Together with the Committee, they updated all of the 28 existing recommendations and added five new recommendations related to the care of pregnant women, including screening for:

• Hypertensive disorders• Substance abuse disorders• Fragile X syndrome• Spinal muscular atrophy• Thrombophilia

Revising this publication was an extensive project that took most of 2014 to complete. WAPC thanks all members of the Prenatal Testing Committee who volunteered their time and expertise: Cynthia Anderson, MD, MPH, FACOG; Dennis T. Costakos, MD; Philip F. Giampietro, MD, PhD; Margo Grady, MS; Sheryl Henderson, MD, PhD; Joel Henry, MD; Steven Leuthner, MD, MA; and, Jodi Wagner, CNM, MSN. The book is not only available in print, but also as an electronic download. Visit the WAPC Online Store to purchase either version.

APPRECIATION AWARDS

Guidelines for the Responsible Utilization of Neonatal Intensive CareThe third award honored the contributors to the second edition of the Guidelines for the Responsible Utilization of Neonatal Intensive Care. These volunteers reviewed, edited, and revised the statement to reflect the law and current understanding of the complexity of the issues. The original position statement, published in 1998, was part of a larger document, the Guidelines for the Responsible Utilization of Intensive Care (GRUIC). WAPC was one of nine healthcare groups that partnered with the Lawrence University Program in Biomedical Ethics. The picture shows several of the many volunteers who collaborated to revise the statement.

Past Presidents’ Award challengeThe final Appreciation Award was given to the WAPC past-presidents who rose to the challenge of current Perinatal Foundation president, Chris Van Mullem. Ms. Van Mullem, also a past-president of WAPC, offered to match contributions from other past-presidents to the Perinatal Foundation’s holiday event in December 2014 up to $500. The past presidents responded in grand style by raising $3,825.
