Abstract
The purpose of this quality improvement project is to increase staff compliance of administering glucose gel for the treatment of newborn hypoglycemia through use of a daily management board. Through improved compliance to gel administration, the project further seeks to decrease NICU admissions for hypoglycemia, decrease formula supplementation of breastfed newborns, and improve exclusive breastfeeding rates at discharge.
