The web based tool is now ready for use in 29 North Carolina Newborn Critical Care Centers. While there are approximately 90 hospitals in our state with delivery services, these 29 centers, lead by neonatal medical and nursing specialists, provide care for infants born prematurely or critically ill.

A program designed for local perinatal quality improvement teams (PQIT’s) was provided in three locations (Winston Salem 12/08, Raleigh 2/09, and Pinehurst 3/09) to stimulate interest and provide information about implementation of the program. Teams were encouraged to explore the characteristics of their unit, and involve family members, formal leadership and staff in the design of local implementation. Additionally, they were coached to use a system or method of measuring the success of program implementation in their site.
