Summary

This pilot intervention trial will assess the feasibility of a live consultation between community hospital providers and tertiary care providers employing a novel teleconsult platform, Maine Neonatal Encephalopathy Teleconsult (Maine NET), on the time to initiation of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) for 35 infants born in community hospitals in Maine compared with matched historical controls. Community hospital providers and tertiary care center provider satisfaction with the Maine NET platform will also be assessed. The hypothesis is that immediately available expert assessment via a teleconsult platform will promote earlier implementation of TH and be associated with high levels of provider satisfaction.
