The Curriculum in Support of Keystone 10: The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding A 15 Hour Interdisciplinary Breastfeeding Management Course & Suggested Additional Reading:
These instructional modules were developed in collaboration between the Pennsylvania Keystone 10 Quality improvement Project and Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. They are intended to provide education which prepares hospital maternity staff to create an environment that is aligned to advance to 10 steps to successful breastfeeding and to meet the Keystone 10.
Running times for each of the 15 training modules vary, however total time for each module is 60 minutes in length. With completion of pre- and post-tests, this training meets the 15 hour didactic requirement of Keystone 10. Staff will still need to complete their competencies at their own site. Hospital staff can either complete the modules online here or can work with their hospital administrators to offer them for continuing education credits. In addition Keystone 10 offers face to face trainings and also trains trainers. For more information please email Dottie Schell at dschell@paaap.org.
