Introduction

• Our interprofessional resuscitation focus group was established in 2018. We have great representation from participating sites on our 3 subgroups.
• Members include neonatologists, nurses and advanced practice providers, trainees and data abstractors.
• We have 3 active subgroups that meet monthly:
  
  • Resuscitation Quality Improvement (QI) Subgroup: working on Improving post-event debriefing and using that to develop interventions to improve responses to acute events in our units.
  • Resuscitation Education Subgroup: working on Educational initiatives and interventions to help improve code team responses.
  • Resuscitation Clinical Practice and Research Subgroup: working on Developing standardized data fields to be able to be included at some point in routine CHND collection to serve as baseline for empiric investigations.

Mission & Goals

To develop benchmarks and best practices for post-delivery room, post-newborn transitional resuscitation that will improve the outcomes of neonates in level IV NICUs.
