Arrows show change of major interventions including the thermoregulation bundle: Initial Bundles (January 1–March 31, 2019); PDSA Cycle 1 (April 1–May 31, 2019): Using polyethylene occlusive wrap infants without drying instead of drying infants immediately after birth. PDSA Cycle 2 (June 1–August 31, 2019): a heated transport incubator introduction. PDSA Cycle 3 (September 1,2019 – March 31, 2020): Revise admission hypothermia check list to supervise effectively. PDSA Cycle 4 (April 1– December 31, 2020): Various online education lectures monthly to build up confidence, faith and further emphasize heat preservation awareness
