Interdisciplinary teams in the NICU coordinate care through a variety of methods:
Team Meetings: Regular team meetings and huddles allow for the discussion of each infant's condition and care plan. Electronic Health Records (EHR): EHR systems facilitate the sharing of up-to-date medical information among team members. Checklists: Using standardized checklists ensures that all necessary steps are followed and nothing is overlooked. Communication Tools: Tools such as secure messaging apps and alert systems can enhance real-time communication.
