Collaboration to Improve Neuroprotection and Neuropromotion in the NICU: A Quality Improvement Initiative.

Implementation of neuroprotective and neuropromotive (NP) strategies is essential to optimize outcomes for premature infants. Developmental care, once an addition to medical care, is now recognized by the NICU team as foundational to support long-term neurodevelopment of micropremature infants. A group approach to education and sharing implementation processes can result in collaborative and individual center improvements.
