Quality improvement project increased hemoglobin recovery in postpartum patients, suggesting enhanced iron deficiency management.

To improve recognition and management of iron delivery in postpartum patients following Cesarean Section.
Implemented a quality improvement project at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to enhance screening and treatment for iron deficiency.
Conducted a Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle to facilitate education and process mapping.
Utilized statistical process control (SPC) p-charts to evaluate process changes and outcomes.
Initial screening for iron deficiency in postpartum patients was only 5% before intervention.
The proportion of patients receiving IV iron increased from 10% to 20% after the first PDSA cycle.
Despite low screening rates, there was an increase in iron repletion therapy, reflecting empiric treatment for suspected anemia.

Ishan Tatake (2025) studied this question.
