NPA's Interdisciplinary Guidelines and Recommendations for NICU Discharge Preparation and Transition Planning

We are interested in hearing your thoughts about NPA's latest initiative.

See our special supplement to the Journal of Perinatology.

_________________________________________


NICU families need support. At NPA, we believe that when NICU care teams are empowered to deliver timely, comprehensive, personalized NICU discharge education and transition planning for families... EVERYONE BENEFITS.


NPA and our partners are in the process of planning an interdisciplinary summit where we will discuss the guidelines & recommendations and explore the many ways we can implement them.


This summit will be held in conjunction with our annual interdisciplinary conference in Kansas City, Missouri next spring.


As we prepare, our planning committee needs your input.
