Abstract
Why the Project: During January - July 2011, postpartum patients where admitted in non-obstetrical wards, due to the high bed occupancy in the obstetric department. Although there were no Maternal Deaths in Klerksdorp Hospital due to post-partum haemorrhage since 2011, the need was identified for knowledge improvement on post-partum haemorrhage.
Project Activities Planned:
- Project Planning using the Logic Model
- Liaising with management
- Identifying stakeholders and team members
- In-service training
- PPH kits to be developed
Activities Done:
- Project planning and setting of goals
- 7 Dyad Meetings and 2 with the management
- A team was identified and meetings held.
- 6 Meetings held with some stakeholders
- 5 Support visits arranged with Consultant
- Taken part in coordinating the 1st Midwifery Symposium in Dr Kenneth Kaunda District
- In-service training was presented in the Gynaecological ward and in the Maternity Department
Leadership Journey: The mentee entered a life changing Leadership Journeys as an Advanced Midwife in the Maternity Department of Klerksdorp Hospital, when she was appointed as a MCWH Programme Coordinator (first acting) at the same time as the leadership academy started. She was able to use the leadership principle in both her work and the project.
Outcome:
- Post Evaluation done after in-service given
- Not all activities were done
- Challenges on time management vs. new responsibilities within her new post.
- Patients are no longer admitted in wards outside the Maternity Department of the Hospital.
The presenter will continue with the project until she reached her goal. In light of her new post she also intends to implement the project in the Sub-district, to the benefit of the community.
