Introduction of microsystems in a level 3 neonatal intensive care unit—an interprofessional approach

摘要

BackgroundGrowth of neonatal intensive care units in number and size has raised questions towards ability to maintain continuity and quality of care. Structural organization of intensive care units is known as a key element for maintaining the quality of care of these fragile patients. The reconstruction of megaunits of intensive care to smaller care units within a single operational service might help with provision of safe and effective care.
