Background: Keeping mothers and babies together after birth has long been described as best practice; however, most organizations in the United States move newborns requiring a higher level of care to a different unit in the hospital.

Intervention: Instead of high-risk newborns being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit while their mothers were on the postpartum unit, an innovative model applied the concepts of rooming-in and couplet care in a new way, keeping mothers and their babies that need a higher level of care together.
