Experts from across the United States joined the first team call to begin the process of developing our new NHPC initiative (Newborn Hypoglycemia Prevention and Care). The multidisciplinary expert group consists of physicians, nurses, lactation specialists, and IT specialists from North Carolina as well as experts from Milwaukee, Tennessee, Oregon, New Jersey, Illinois, Alabama, New Hampshire, New York and New England. The team discussed the need to formulate a plan of care for the hypoglycemic patient and family, navigate the various guidelines that currently exist to identify, treat and manage newborns at-risk for hypoglycemia, and begin the process of developing the charter with focused outcomes.
