Hospital Quality Indicators for Opioid-Exposed Infants: Results From an Expert Consensus Panel
This study used an online modified Delphi process to elicit expert consensus on quality indicators for hospital-based care of opioid-exposed infants.
Infancy—the period of life from birth to age 1—is associated with a unique set of public policy issues related to babies' health, development, and welfare. RAND's research on infants spans a wide range of topics for this brief but important period of life, including infant mortality, low birth weight, neonatal care, immunizations, breastfeeding and feeding practices, and cognitive development.
