Mission

This collaborative group will focus on neonatal applied clinical informatics, with a particular emphasis on electronic medical record (EMR) workflows that directly support neonatal care. By pooling collective expertise, the group aims to accelerate progress in optimizing EMR use, rather than leaving each center to independently reinvent workflows.

‍

Goals / Aims

The aims of this collaborative group are to generate practical, consensus-driven improvements in neonatal EMR
workflows that can be broadly shared across institutions.  

1. Understand the current state of neonatal documentation: conduct an environmental scan or survey of
   documentation practices across Level 4 NICUs to identify variability, strengths, and opportunities for
   improvement.
2. Propose best practice frameworks for daily progress note generation: develop standardized approaches to
   neonatal progress note structure and content that optimize efficiency, support high-quality communication, and
   enhance downstream data usability.
3. Explore opportunities to integrate artificial intelligence tools within the EMR: Assess how emerging AI-driven
   solutions could be leveraged to support neonatal workflows, such as clinical decision support, automated
   documentation, and advanced data review.
