Dear Friends:

Assuring the best possible health outcomes for women, babies, and families is the most important thing the Perinatal Foundation does. We thank you for your trust in and engagement with our mission and for your financial support.

Without your support, the Foundation could not realize its vision of healthy women, babies, and families. This report highlights programs that were possible with your support. These include the Myrtle Bahm Leonard scholarships, the Thomas A. Leonard lectureship, and funding for WAPC programs.

2012 was a year of dramatic change. I was appointed the fourth president of the Foundation, and Carol A. Browning, MD, stepped down as president in the latter part of the year. Many of you joined us in April 2013 for a tribute to Carol and her leadership to the Perinatal Foundation. We will miss her steady hand when she moves to California, though she will stay connected with the Foundation and its mission. In addition, we added three new directors—Theresa elliott, Jon Goldstein, and Jean Willard.

In May, the Foundation offices moved to a new location in Madison—211 S. Paterson St., Suite 250. We are settled in and taking advantage of the opportunities of the new space.

The Foundation focused its resources to collaborate with the Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care on two major initiatives. The first was providing professional education with a Webinar format about preventing late preterm births. The second was funding a major redesign of the joint Web site of the Foundation and WAPC.

The Board continued to manage its resources wisely by minimizing risk to the investment portfolio and controlling expenses. By year end, after a thoughtful process, the Foundation moved its resources to a new investment manager and custodian.

The major sources of fundraising income continue to be direct appeals in newsletters and this report; year-end electronic YouTube appeal; the Silent Auction and raffle in conjunction with the Annual Conference of the Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care; and sales of publications.

As we look to 2013 and beyond, we invite your continued involvement in helping the Foundation realize its vision—the best possible health outcomes for women, babies, and families.

With deepest gratitude,

Chris Van Mullem, RNC, MS President

Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care (WAPC)The Perinatal Foundation uses its resources to support perinatal programs, including a grant to the Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care (WAPC). In 2012, the Perinatal Foundation provided a generous grant of $150,000 to WAPC for programs and staffing. The inter-relationship of the Foundation and WAPC is synergistic.

The Perinatal Foundation supported the following WAPC programs:

WAPC Annual Statewide Perinatal Conference—WAPC welcomed three outstanding plenary session speakers to its 2012 annual conference faculty April 15-17 at the hyatt on Main in Green Bay. The three plenary session speakers were Mario Drummonds, Peter Cherouny, and Sue Gullo.

Mario Drummonds, executive Director/Ceo, of the Northern Manhattan Perinatal Partnership, Inc., in

Brooklyn, NY, opened the conference. In his presentation, “Strategic Intent: Improving Maternal & Birth outcomes Throughout Wisconsin,” Mr. Drummonds summarized the status of the MCh program in America today and reviewed specific strategies for improving birth outcomes in Wisconsin.

Peter Cherouny, MD, presented the Thomas A. Leonard, MD, Memorial Lecture. he is emeritus Professor of obstetrics,

Gynecology and Reproductive Science at the University of Vermont College of Medicine, Burlington, VT. In his presentation, “Decreasing elective Deliveries Prior to 39 Completed Weeks,” he reviewed data on neonatal outcomes and fetal death at term in the larger context of risk of neonatal complications with delivery prior to confirmation of fetal maturity.

Sue Gullo, RN, BSN, MS, closed the conference with “Safe and Reliable Care: one Baby and Mom at a Time.” her presentation illustrated how

reliability processes can be applied to perinatal care and ways that providers can improve quality. Ms. Gullo is the Managing Director for the Institute for healthcare Improvement (IhI) in Cambridge, MA.

Mario Drummonds, MS, LCSW, MBA addresses the audience at the 42nd

Callon-Leonard Award —WAPC awarded its highest honor, the Callon-Leonard Award, to Dennis Worthington, MD, a clinical professor in the Department of obstetrics and Gynecology at the Medical College of Wisconsin and chief of the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Section at Wheaton Franciscan healthcare hospitals in southeast Wisconsin. Dr. Worthington is known for his commitment to women experiencing high-risk pregnancies. The award commemorates the contributions of helen F. Callon, RN, CNM, and Thomas A. Leonard, MD.

Ms. Callon worked for the Wisconsin Department of health as a hospital consultant for 23 years. After her retirement, she promoted perinatal regionalization in Wisconsin, one of the first states to accomplish regionalized care without a legislative mandate. helen was part of the team that provided intensive education

for physicians and nurses around the state to enhance the care for infants. Ms. Callon passed away in 1991.

Thomas A. Leonard, MD, practiced obstetrics and gynecology for over 40 years and was instrumental in establishing an oB/GYN department at Madison General hospital in 1938. In addition to being the first president of the Perinatal Foundation, Tom was a proponent of preconception care before it was popular among his colleagues. Dr. Leonard was founder and chairman of the State Medical Society’s Maternal Mortality Study Committee and professor of oB/GYN at the UW-Medical School. he passed away in 1988.

2012 Regional Forum Series— Two-hundred nineteen participants attended the 2012 WAPC Regional Forum Series, Coming to Term—Promoting Delivery after 39 Weeks. The Regional Forums were possible with the support of the Perinatal Foundation and the WAPC regions.

Thanks to the contributions of WAPC experts across the state, the curriculum responded to the needs of clinicians interested in strategies for reducing elective deliveries prior to 39 weeks. elective delivery before 39 weeks is a significant risk factor for newborn infants. The presentations featured videos of interviews with hospital champions who successfully implemented programs to reduce the number of elective deliveries and gave participants an opportunity to assess their own facilities using a SWoB analysis tool. The SWoB analysis tool asked participants to consider eighteen statements in the context of their work settings and characterize the statements as strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, or barriers affecting efforts to decrease deliveries prior to 39 weeks. The series featured the same curriculum presented once in each of the seven WAPC perinatal regions.

In addition, thanks to an additional grant from the Perinatal Foundation, the curriculum was presented in two live Webinars. Announcements for the Webinars were featured in two national electronic newsletters, and the Webinars attracted participants from around the country. The archived Webinars will be available on the new Web site.

Fetal Monitoring Lunch and Learn Series—

WAPC built on the success of the 2011 premier of this series, and once again offered distance-learning sessions -- Beyond the Basics: The Art and Science of Strip Interpretation. each session was offered over the noon hour and featured a case study, electronic fetal monitoring strip review, and discussion. The Webinar format provided the opportunity for lunchtime learning for busy providers throughout Wisconsin and beyond. Nearly 450 people participated in the five sessions. Nearly 200 people completed the evaluation and sought continuing education credits for their participation.

WAPC 2012 Fetal Monitoring “Lunch & Learn” Series

Beyond the Basics: The Art and Science of Strip Interpretation

ABOUT THIS SERIES

Monitoring a woman and her fetus during the antepartum and intrapartum periods is an essential component of perinatal care. This course goes beyond the basics of who, how, and when to monitor. Instead, this course is for those who have demonstrated competency in basic fetal monitoring skills. This is not introductory content. Discussion focuses on case studies and strip review, using current ACOG/NICHD recommendations. Each session will have a new and unique curriculum. Participants will experience the convenience of learning from work or home and interact with colleagues around the state. Learners are encouraged to register for all five sessions. The interactive sessions will be held via GoToWebinar®.

PURPOSE

To use case studies to build on knowledge of and skills about interpreting electronic fetal heart rate strips.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

Physicians, nurses, certified nurse midwives, and other perinatal providers who routinely do electronic fetal monitoring.

OBJECTIVES

At the conclusion of the session, participants will be able to:

1. Systematically review the electronic fetal monitor strip 2. Identify and categorize the FHR pattern 3. Identify and discuss uterine activity patterns and their influence on the FHR baseline4. Discuss the pathophysiology related to the tracing patterns identified 5. Identify any points in the oxygen pathway that are potential points for oxygen disruption6. Discuss management of intrapartum fetal heart rate tracings7. Discuss documentation of intrapartum fetal heart rate tracings

FACULTY

Faculty will vary by session but will include: Kathy Frigge, RN, MSN, C-EFM; Janice McIntosh, BSN, RNC-OB, C-EFM; Sharon Morgan, APRN, BC; Jeanne Rosendale, MS, BSN, RNC; Chris Van Mullem, RNC, MS

PeriData.Net®—In 2012, the Perinatal Foundation provided support for the very successful perinatal data platform, PeriData.Net®. Funding supports the WAPC Perinatal Data Committee, which serves as the governance organization for PeriData.Net®. The committee is made up of over 40 representatives of birth hospitals, professional organizations, quality reporting entities, and academic institutions. In addition, WAPC continues its partnership with the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee/Center for Urban Population health to manage and expand PeriData.Net®. Following is a partial list of the year’s accomplishments:

• 91 hospitals implemented PeriData.Net® with 80 of those enrolled in CheckPoint, a public reporting effort of the Wisconsin hospital Association.

• The UWM/Center for Urban Population health released an elective delivery measure in June and an elective delivery custom report in August. The Wisconsin Department of health Services will pay hospitals for reporting the data in 2014 and will likely pay for performance in 2015.

• UWM/Center for Urban Population health and WAPC took preliminary steps to develop an electronic interface between PeriData.Net® and electronic health records.

Web site RedesignThe Perinatal Foundation provided additional funding for a Web site redesign to include a learning management center to streamline online learning; an easy-to-use “store”, or place to order materials and publication and pay for continuing education programs; and a contemporary content management system to enable staff to make frequent updates. Work began in 2012, with completion expected in 2013.

Myrtle Bahm Leonard Scholarship ProgramIn 1994, the Perinatal Foundation honored the legacy of Myrtle Bahm Leonard by starting a scholarship in her name. Mrs. Leonard, wife of Perinatal Foundation founder, Dr. Thomas A. Leonard, was one of the major benefactors of the Foundation and a strong proponent of education. The Myrtle Bahm Leonard Memorial Scholarship underwrites the cost of childcare expenses for students in a health care field at three Wisconsin colleges, University of Wisconsin-eau Claire, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Madison College. The colleges select students to receive the scholarships so that their children can attend the college-run childcare programs. Since 1994, over 45 students benefited from the scholarships.

In 2012, one of the Myrtle Bahm Leonard scholarship recipients was Mandy Bartz, a nursing student at Madison College. The scholarship makes it possible for Mandy to work part-time, rather than full-time, and therefore, she can spend more time studying. her efforts resulted in her being named to the Dean’s List. The childcare program has been beneficial to Mandy’s daughter, Alexandra, who had speech delays and was seeing a specialist to help improve her vocabulary. After just one semester, her daughter made significant improvements in her speech, and is now almost to her age-appropriate level.

In 2012, donors supported the Myrtle Bahm Leonard Memorial Scholarship and students like Mandy, by donating nearly $3,500.

Thomas A. Leonard, MD, Memorial LecturerThe 2012 Thomas A. Leonard, MD, Memorial Lecture was presented by Peter Cherouny, MD, emeritus Professor of obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at the University of Vermont College of Medicine. The presentation was April 17 at the WAPC Annual Statewide Perinatal Conference in Green Bay, WI.

In his presentation, “Decreasing elective Deliveries Prior to 39 Completed Weeks,” Dr. Cherouny noted that the risk for problems after birth is lowest for infants born after 39 weeks, but the risk increases significantly for infants born prior to 39 weeks. over the past decade, elective deliveries have increased for preterm (less than 37 weeks), early term (between 37 weeks and 38 6/7 weeks), as well as term infants. Increases in morbidity and mortality, however, have affected preterm and early term infants disproportionately.

Dr. Cherouny acknowledged that the actual risk for any individual infant may be low. he cautioned, however, that providers might be tempted to push the limits when they deliver infants early, increasing their comfort ranges each time they do not experience negative outcomes. Unfortunately, with larger numbers of deliveries, more infants are exposed to greater preventable risk. Dr. Cherouny believes that it is necessary to develop policies and practices that eliminate elective deliveries prior to 39 weeks.

Dr. Cherouny’s work exemplifies the goals of Dr. Leonard and the Perinatal Foundation to improve the lives of mothers, infants, and families.

After a dozen years leading the Foundation, Carol made the decision to relocate to sunny California and resign. Then, the Perinatal Foundation elected Chris Van Mullem, RNC, MSN, as the fourth president of the Perinatal Foundation. The transition of leadership was smooth, probably not noticed by many.

on behalf of the Perinatal Foundation Board, • Thank you to Carol for her steadfast leadership. • Thank you to Chris for her willingness to assume the position of president and continue the good

work of the past.

The Foundation is well-poised to lead the way in perinatal health philanthropy.
