Description:
In order to improve the quality of care in NICUs, the importance of teamwork and communication cannot be over-emphasized. This course will discuss standardization of evidence-based care through enhanced teamwork and interprofessional care, including the importance of all team members understanding their roles in care in order to make sure standardized, evidence-based care is carried out for improved health outcomes. Strategies to complete these tasks within the NICU setting are also examined.
Learning Objectives:
• Evaluate the improvement of neonatal and infant mortality associated with deployment of neonatal intensive care units over the last 80 years.
• Assess the wide state to state variation and persistence in racial disparities in neonatal and infant outcomes despite neonatal intensive care units.
• Review strategies to optimize use of neonatal intensive care to improve infant outcomes by improved communication with obstetrical providers, Choosing Wisely, and standardizing evidence-based approaches to common neonatal problems.
