Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual family-centered rounds (FCR)

Parents will be given the option to join FCR virtually or in-person; this intervention is changing the behavior of how providers deliver healthcare and how parents engage in their child's care. The NICU team members will use a computer with a speaker and pan-tilt-zoom camera, mounted on a stand with wheels to launch telehealth connections using the secure application called ExtendedCare. From within this telehealth connection, a NICU team member will send an electronic message (e.g. via text or email) to the subscribed parent(s) and wait for the parent to join the visit to establish a secure videoconference. The message to the parent includes a link that can be clicked to open a browser that allows the parent to join the telehealth visit. FCR will then proceed in usual fashion with the NICU team members and - if in attendance - parent(s).
