BACKGROUND: Given the incidence and impact of postpartum depression (PPD) on families in the NICU, we aimed to increase the percentage of birthing parents screened for PPD from 0 to 90% over 18-months and provide psychosocial support.
METHODS: Planned experimentation was used to design an effective screening framework in a level IV NICU. Interventions included process standardization, electronic health record (EHR) support, and data visualization for feedback. Data were displayed on a control chart and stratified for race and language to ensure equitable delivery.
RESULTS: Provider screening utilizing the PHQ-2 proved the most reliable screening framework in our context. Screening rates increased to a mean of 75%, with 90% of positive screens referred to a unit psychologist; rates were comparable across stratified groups.
CONCLUSION: Successful implementation of PPD screening in tertiary NICUs requires planning to ensure efficient and equitable processes and adequate psychosocial support.
