OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to enhance the ability to coordinate and deliver care in a holistic manner, through a family-centered care map, so that the developmental, physical, and psychosocial needs of the infant and family are met. METHODS.A Web-based map was based on 7 distinct clinical phases with 3 variations of an infant's course through a NICU. Sixty-three potentially better practices were identified and 7 potentially better practices were implemented through case studies.RESULTS. Measures of family satisfaction revealed improvements in delivery of family-centered care. Increases in discharge growth parameters for extremely low birth weight infants were demonstrated. Length of stay for very low birth weight infants decreased from 73 to 60 days in Vermont.CONCLUSIONS. The collaborative process enhances identification of potentially better practices and results in both qualitative and quantitative improvements in familycentered care.www.pediatrics.org/cgi

“…7,8 Viewing the family as the child's primary source of strength and support, 9 this philosophy incorporates respect, information, choice, flexibility, empowerment, collaboration and support into all levels of service delivery.

Objective: Family-centered care is becoming a standard of care in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a national program designed to promote family-centered care in NICUs and to provide information and comfort to families during the NICU hospitalization of their newborn.Study Design: A quasi-experimental, post-only design was utilized, examining eight March of Dimes NICU Family Support s (NFS) sites.Data were gathered via telephone interviews with NICU administrators and surveys of both NICU staff and NICU families.Result: NICU administrators interviewed identified benefits of NFS, including culture change and additional support to families. Surveys of NICU staff showed that NFS enhances the overall quality of NICU care resulting in less stressed, more informed and confident parents. Surveys of NICU families showed that NFS both reduced their stress and made them feel more confident as their baby's parent. Conclusion:March of Dimes NFS has had a positive impact on the stress level, comfort level and parenting confidence of NICU families. In addition, it has enhanced the receptivity of staff to the presence and benefits of family-centered care.
