The first project in the Tennessee Tiniest Baby Bundle is the prevention of severe intraventricular hemorrhage (sIVH).  Intraventricular hemorrhage is bleeding inside or around the ventricles of the brain.  Severe IVH is defined as a Grade III or IV hemorrhage and is considered one of the most concerning complications of preterm birth.  Level III and IV NICUs from across Tennessee have come together to achieve a 25% relative reduction (from the respective facility’s baseline over the past 3 years) in sIVH in this population by March of 2024.  TIPQC is proud to have teams of healthcare professionals and parents participate in this very important project.   This project, like so many of the other TIPQC projects, is aimed at improving care for babies and families one project at a time.
