Back to Episodes#417 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - Do NICU Families Have a Seat at the Table? (ft. Silvia Bor)
Description
Silvia Bor, NICU mom to a 24 weeker and Family Advisory Council member for the CPQCC, makes the case for why family centered care must go beyond a philosophy and become a structured practice. She shares how involving parents in quality improvement initiatives, including the NEOBrain early skin to skin project, drives meaningful change at the bedside. She also outlines the CPQCC toolkit for building hospital level Family Advisory Councils and discusses how to identify the right parent advocates, including those whose NICU journeys ended in loss.
