Essure contraceptive device The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it will require a new "black box warning" label for Essure, an implantable permanent contraceptive device. A black box warning in the labeling of products is "designed to call attention to serious or lifethreatening risks," according to the FDA website.
AWHONN Convention The 2016 AWHONN Convention is June 11—15 in Grapevine, TX. Join your fellow nurses and clinician colleagues from around the world to navigate new horizons for ensuring superior care to women and newborns everywhere. Registration and session information can be found here:
http://awhonnconvention.org/
The announcement comes after more than 5,000 women filed grievances with the FDA between November 2002 and May 2015, complaining of unintended pregnancies, miscarriages, stillbirths and severe pain and bleeding after an Essure implantation. Approved by the FDA in 2002, Essure is a permanent form of birth control in which a coil is non-surgically placed into a woman's fallopian tubes. Scar tissue is supposed to form around the device to prevent sperm from reaching eggs and fertilizing them, thus preventing pregnancy. The FDA also called upon Bayer, which makes and markets Essure, to conduct surveillance that will assess "risks of the device in a real-world environment," and said the agency will use the results of that study to "determine what, if any, further actions related to Essure are needed to protect public health." The company is required to follow more than 2,000 women for at least three years. The study will not be limited to women being implanted with Essure but will be comparing women with Essure to women who select other methods of sterilization, such as surgery. Source: CNN

Southwest General Health Center “In health care today, every second, dollar and patient matters. For Women’s Health and Maternity clinicians, who often care for two patients at once, the stakes can be twice as high. That is why Southwest General Health Center (Southwest General) – a 358bed, non-profit hospital serving three counties southwest of Cleveland, OH – automated its Women’s Health and Maternity workflows using Cerner’s Fetal Monitoring and Ambulatory and Acute Perinatal Documentation solutions. Since its implementation in August 2014, Southwest General removed more than 40 hours per month from maternity workflows. It’s also found additional charges that were not captured in the previous, paper-based system — generating over $1 million in added charges in 2015. Most importantly, patient information is integrated with other areas of the hospital, providing a more comprehensive record for both mothers and infants.” Read the rest of the story here.

In The News Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center On March 11, Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center opened Chicago’s first human milk depot. Moms who are approved donors now have a place in the city to bring frozen milk so they don’t have to ship it or drive out to the milk bank. Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center has been providing donor milk since 2013. After seeing the benefits of the program, staff decided to begin accepting donations as a Milk Depot to allow more moms and babies to benefit from the program. -Fox 32 Chicago

We look forward to hearing from you!
Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital has received Magnet designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Le Bonheur is among only 7% of hospitals in the country to have earned the distinction of Magnet status. “This achievement is a testament to the exceptional care we provide to patients and families every day,” said Nikki Polis, chief nursing officer of Le Bonheur. “We are incredibly proud of our Le Bonheur family for achieving this momentous goal.
