A 360 Evaluation of Neonatal Care Quality at a Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit when Delivered Using a Hybrid Telemedicine Service.

Objective: In 2013, the Section of Neonatal and Perinatal Medicine at the University of Oklahoma's Children's Hospital began providing advanced care to a regional level II neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), using a hybrid telemedicine program. This project compares health care providers' and parents' assessments of health care quality using this program.

The neuropsychological tests included the Trail-Making Test Forms A and B and a face-recognition test.
