Background Telelactation, a virtual lactation support platform, is a convenient and effective way of providing virtual breastfeeding support services and communicating proper breastfeeding techniques to new mothers to address any breastfeeding challenges and boost overall maternal breastfeeding confidence all from the comfort of their homes. This Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) covered service benefits more mothers in the remote areas where in-person LC service is not easily accessible. Objective The objective of this cross-sectional survey study is to explore the feasibility, potential benefits, and challenges, and level of patient satisfaction in virtual lactation consultation services along with virtual paediatrician consultation available in Ontario, Canada. Method Patient satisfaction was assessed using a structured online survey as a part of a cross-sectional observational study that asked questions relevant to several independent demographic variables as well as specific Likert type scale questions to gauge patient satisfaction with virtual lactation consultation. Results Data were analyzed from 177 survey responses (n=177), of which study revealed that 86.44% (153/177) were satisfied with the virtual lactation services they received. Patient satisfaction was found to be higher in the first-time mothers with high school or undergraduate education between the age group of 26 to 35 years living in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). In terms of connectivity, participants from the GTA had a better experience overall compared those living outside the GTA. Conclusion OHIP covered telelactation with a paediatrician consultation is an innovative and feasible health care delivery platform for providing remote professional breastfeeding support to mothers of all socio-economic strata with great potential to further improve both patient experience and efficiency in patient care.
90% of respondents reported knowledge of near miss definition, and similar proportion acknowledges that near misses should be reported (87%) (figure 1).-Approximately two thirds of staff respondents were knowledgeable how to report near misses (63%) compared to 37% who did not (figure 1).-Among variable scenarios 73-88% of respondents could identify the near miss events.-Main suggested barriers to reporting near miss events were time constraints, lack of awareness of importance of near misses reporting and fear of reporting on colleagues involved in the event.Abstract 1235 Figure 1 Dermostrating staff knowledge and attitude towards near miss reporting Conclusion There is a gap between staff intent to record a near miss occurrence and actual event reporting which could be either due to low incidence of near misses in the health organization or simply because of under reporting.
