Purpose: The purpose of this project was to improve the accuracy of newborn weight classification using a regional newborn growth reference (Olsen), an evidence-based method, to determine SGA, AGA and LGA in term infants compared to the current growth reference (Lubchenco).
Design: Quality improvement methods using Lewin's Change Theory guided the process.
Setting/local Problem: At an academic medical center term infants were evaluated for weight-for-gestational age using the Lubchenco growth reference as well as other growth references based on provider preference.
