  • Title: Improving family-centered care practices in the NICU.
    Author: Lee LA, Carter M, Stevenson SB, Harrison HA.
    Journal: Neonatal Netw; 2014; 33(3):125-32. PubMed ID: 24816872.
    Abstract:
    Family presence and participation in care in the NICU is fundamental to the recovery and well-being of the sick neonate and family. However, some NICU visitation policies are not supportive of families. A new visitor-management program was initiated at a local hospital. The program included open visitation for parents and others chosen by parents to be a support during their hospital stay. This quality-improvement project evaluated if there was any improvement in parents' perceptions and experiences of family-centered care after the implementation of the new visitor-management program. The NICU parent survey data revealed a modest positive difference in parent responses after the implementation of the program.
