There is a new study published in the current issue of Pediatrics that demonstrates the importance of quality improvement initiatives in NICUs. It was great to see that the things that they were targeting in their research are the same things that we have already implemented in our facility! Isn’t it great to know when you are on the right track?
The practice of neonatology is always growing and changing. In order to keep up-to-date with the latest and best research, we have to be dynamic and open to change too. There are always ways to improve and in our NICU, we are constantly looking for things that we can do to give our little patients the best possible care. You can feel confident that we are committed to taking the best evidence and research and integrating it into our practice.
