Marybeth Lahey New Nurse Manager Welcome to Marybeth Lahey, BSN, RN, the new nurse manager of the Mother Baby Units on 3/5 Preston. Marybeth brings with her a rich background in Women’s and Children’s Services. She comes to PAH from Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center where she was the Divisional Manager for Women’s and Children’s Services. She oversaw the care of women and infants from admission through discharge, including a 25 bed level III Intensive Care Nursery. Marybeth led the Lourdes’ journey toward Baby Friendly status. “She brings both passion and expertise to Pennsylvania Hospital and we are so very excited to have her on our leadership team,” said Pam Power, MSN, RN, ACNS-BC, clinical director of Women’s Health.

PAH COO “Women Hospital and Health System Leader to Know” Deb Staples, chief operating offer at PAH, has been named one of “120 Women Hospital and Health System Leaders to Know” by Becker’s Hospital Review. Becker’s recently announced the publication of its 2012 list, “120 Women Hospital and Health System Leaders to Know,” which recognizes women who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, talents and accomplishments within the hospital and health care industry. The women featured in this list have exhibited a proven ability to lead their respective organizations in midst of health care’s challenging environment. They have shown considerable skill and promise despite times of uncertainty and unprecedented change in the industry. As a result, the Becker’s Hospital Review editorial team finds these CEOs, CFOs, COOs and other executives as women to watch now and in years to come. The list includes nominations and recommendations from industry experts, as well as leaders who were chosen based on a wide range of management and leadership skills, including oversight of hospital and health system operations, financial turnarounds and quality improvement initiatives. Executives do not pay and cannot pay to be included on this list. An integral member of the hospital’s leadership team, Deb was the vice president of Allied Health and Professional Services before being named COO at PAH in February of 2011. As COO, she is responsible for the daily operations of the hospital and its ambulatory facilities. Over her 18 years at PAH, Staples has been a trusted and effective leader on projects such as the successful transition and integration of the inpatient psychiatric unit from HUP to Pennsylvania Hospital. She also played a key role in the introduction of the laborist model for obstetrical care and the development of the PAH outpatient radiology site at the Tuttleman Center on the campus of Penn Medicine at Rittenhouse.

Breaking through the Communications Clutter with

“ Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding” In an effort to cut through the constant communications clutter — websites, e-newsletters, targeted text messages and mailings, plus a plethora of pregnancy and parenting magazines — that bombards women during pregnancy and during early motherhood, Pennsylvania Hospital is taking a fresh approach to help educate and inform staff and expectant mothers about the process and benefits of successful breast feeding. “Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding” were installed along the corridor floors of the Labor and Delivery and Maternity Units at the Hospital, making it literally and figuratively a “low” tech, yet clear and readily accessible public health messaging campaign. Funded by a state grant, the graphics create a visually fun pathway of footprints through the units. Each pathway is comprised of ten sets of footprints. Each individual footprint is dedicated to one of the ten steps — in English on the left and Spanish on the right. Long known for obstetrical, gynecological and maternity care, Pennsylvania Hospital — the nation’s first hospital, where the most babies are delivered annually in the City

The formal Ten Steps as established by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative are:

1) Have a written breastfeeding policy that is routinely communicated to all health care staff. 2) Train all health care staff in skills necessary to implement this policy. 3) Inform all pregnant women about the benefits and management of breastfeeding. 4) Help mothers initiate breastfeeding within one hour of birth. 5) Show mothers how to breastfeed and how to maintain lactation, even if they are separated from their infants. 6) Give newborn infants no food or drink other than breast milk, unless medically indicated. 7 ) Practice “rooming in”— allow mothers and infants to remain together 24 hours a day while in the hospital. 8) Encourage breastfeeding on demand. 9) Give no pacifiers or artificial nipples to breastfeeding infants. 10) Foster the establishment of breastfeeding support groups and refer mothers to them on discharge from the hospital or clinic.

10 Steps to Successful breastfeeding

of Philadelphia — is already recognized as an exemplary “breastfeeding friendly employer.” This past summer, the hospital, along with the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, was also selected to participate in Best Fed Beginnings a first-of-its-kind national effort to significantly improve breastfeeding rates in US where rates are currently the lowest. The participating hospitals are working together in a 22-month learning collaborative, using proven quality improvement methods to transform their maternity care services in pursuit of a “BabyFriendly” designation. This designation will verify that a hospital has comprehensively implemented the American Academy of Pediatrics-endorsed Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding. Compared to national averages, breastfeeding rates are higher and disparities in these rates are virtually eliminated in hospitals that achieve the BabyFriendly status. “With the installation of Ten Steps, we kicked off our official baby-friendly journey to help significantly improve breastfeeding rates in the Philadelphia region,” said Debi Ferrarello, RN, MS, IBCLC, Director of Family Education. “At Pennsylvania Hospital we understand how a mother’s experience during her stay with us can strongly influence her ability to start and continue breastfeeding. We are committed to implementing evidence-based care through the Baby-Friendly designation process. This way we will ensure that mothers delivering in our hospital who want to breastfeed are fully supported. In the same respect, we’ll also ensure that mothers who are having difficulty or unable to breastfeed are also fully supported.”

First Philly Baby of the New Year Delivered at PAH! Joly Soto-Hojnowski thought her queasy feeling might have come from the chicken cordon bleu she ate on New Year’s Eve. She never dreamed she was in labor already. Her baby was not due for several weeks. But when her mother suggested she head to PAH, Soto-Hojnowski and husband John Hojnowski, grabbed the maternity bag they had packed a few days before and set off. Mom was right. Less than a half-hour after they had checked in, Jolyna Hojnowski arrived at 12:23 am, weighing 6.9 pounds and 19 3/4 inches long. There was not even time to fill out the proper hospital forms. “It was literally push time,” said Soto-Hojnowski. The couple, from the Logan section of Philadelphia, had planned to spend New Year’s Eve watching fireworks at Penn’s Landing, but their daughter had pyrotechnics of a different kind in store for them. The Philadelphia Inquirer, 6ABC, and CBS3 ran stories about Jolyna and other New Year’s babies.
