Parents of newborns and seriously ill children often know about family leave options, but are too overwhelmed to apply for them. Most parents interviewed in this study wanted expert guidance and saw hospitals and clinics as promising information sources.

Using a 12-year county-level panel, this study found that a 10 percent increase in births that occur in hospitals with electronic medical records reduces neonatal mortality by 16 deaths per 100,000 live births.

<p>The Spring 2008 issue of RAND Review compares neonatal services across the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Sweden, discusses water resources management, U.S. policies in Asia, and political polarization.</p>

<p>Gathers information on the provision of neonatal services in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the United States, Canada, Sweden and Australia. It was produced to support the National Audit Office&rsquo;s Value for Money study of neonatal services in England. Therefore, the report aims to provide a compendium of relevant data to facilitate comparisons and benchmarking of neonatal services (organisation, statistics, and so on).</p>

This research brief examines past attempts to rebuild public health and health care delivery systems during nation-building efforts after U.S. military deployments intended to underpin the transition to peace, democracy, and economic stability.

<p>To develop a set of quality indicators for the neurodevelopmental follow-up care of very low birth weight (VLBW; <1500 g) children</p>

<p>The objectives of this study were to examine the impact of postpartum hospital-stay legislation on newborns' length of stay, neonatal readmissions, and 1-year mortality in California, and whether this legislation had differential impacts by demographics and complications during delivery or pregnancy.</p>

<p>The authors investigated whether the proportion of Black very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants treated by hospitals is associated with neonatal mortality for Black and White VLBW infants.</p>

http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB4559.html Dec 31, 2003 Dec 31, 2003

The goal of the study was to assess how accurately patient volume predicts quality of care for VLBW infants and to compare volume with direct indicators, such as patient mortality.

<p>There is very little information about long-term outcomes, as the medical and developmental status of few of these infants has been followed carefully.</p>

<p>Much of the decline in childhood mortality over the past two decades is attributable to improvements in neonatal intensive care for very-low-birthweight infants.</p>

<p>Nosocomial bloodstream infections (NBIs) are associated with serious morbidity and prolonged length of stay (LOS) in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.</p>

<p>Evidence-based selective referral strategies are being used by an increasing number of insurers to ensure that medical care is provided by high-quality providers.</p>

<p>The main aim of the present analysis is to test the possibility that the period of economic hardship characterizing Mexico over the decade 1986*1996 has negatively influenced infant health outcomes.</p>

<p>This article provides an overview of neonatal intensive care unit treatment costs for hospitals that participated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Quality Improvement Collaborative Year 2000 (NIC/Q 2000) quality improvement collaborative and discusses how economic information can be used in quality improvement efforts.</p>

<p>Some discrepancies exist between the RSV prophylaxis guidelines and the published data on the level of risk of hospitalization for RSV disease by GA and lung disease.</p>

<p>Cost savings may be achieved as a result of collaborative quality improvement efforts and when they occur, they appear to be sustainable, at least in the short run. In high-cost patient populations, such as infants with very low birth weights, cost savings can quickly offset institutional expenditures for quality improvement efforts.</p>
