Clinical nurse specialists: creating new programs for neonatal home care

Article Abstract:

Home care nursing for special needs infants is a growing field. Researchers have outlined the details of one hospital-affiliated home care program. Home care nurses are specially trained neonatal intensive care nurses that provide individually tailored home visits to special needs infants and their families. The focus of these visits is to evaluate the infant and educate and support the parents. These visits are much cheaper than hospital care and allow the infants to be cared for at home.

Neonatal intensive care units should provide an environment that is individualized, neurobehaviorally supportive, and family-centered. Neonatal care units must encourage collaboration with community intervention providers by including family members on councils and advisory boards.
