How NICU Certification Review Are Improving Service Delivery

By Harriet Porter


Neonatal Intensive Care Unit commonly abbreviated as NICU certification has had to be reviewed due to advancement in technology, extensive research and health services and practices standardization nationally. The NICU certification review is particularly for new NICU practitioners waiting to be certified. Past procedures are still the norm in over 5000 neonatal clinics in the United States of America.

Based on the current intensive care units specifications, a standard NICU is capable of hosting a minimum of ten newborns at any one time. Under the care of six certified neonatal intensive nurses and two pediatricians, such units are averagely prepared according to current standards. However, as the population grows at a constant rate- despite the sharp decrease in birth rates as of December 2013, there is a need to address the operations at intensive care units in preparation for any type of emergency scenario.

The reviews that have been done so far by government agencies and private medical agencies have been very useful in assessing strengths and of neonatal ICUs. These reviews are to regular citizens and medical experts to give their opinions on ways of improving newborn babies' services at the intensive care unit after they have been scrutinized, reviewed and published. Anyone who wishes to join the world of nursing is taught well on ways of operating neonatal units.

NICU reviews usually address the costs of establishing new units and maintaining them. Neonatal clinics appear cheap to start and maintain to the eye of ordinary person in reality those equipments there can be equal to the ones found in small hospitals. Reports are drawn from these reviews which give an insight on costs of establishing fully-fledged hospitals for babies which are capable of handling any kind of complication in newborns whether psychological or physical.

Another important thing addressed in the reviews is the machines for specialized use in neonatal units. Since they operate independently, there is need for equipment that can be able to take care of any complication or sickness in the babies. The reports therefore invaluably give a projection of the ways in which the equipment can be improved to enhance a higher quality of the services granted in such facilities.

Many people lack a clear understanding and information on procedures leading to the successful delivery of a newborn baby. It is therefore the purpose of neonatal health reviews to highlight the procedures preceding emergency child births and the importance of such knowledge to medical staff. Over the years, neonatal personnel have acquired considerable knowledge which if tapped can provide future improvements to the management of a NICU unit.

Additionally, apart from offering insight, neonatal assessments suggest distinct alternatives to the current protocols applied in certifying neonatal care units. In this case, such reviews are important towards conducting in-depth studies on neonatal care. Subsequently, they can be used to establish new and improved benchmarks.

Education enhancement and promotion is one of those NICU certification reviews roles that are easily overlooked. Thus the valuable insightful information made available by the reviews gives the knowledgebase in training institutions a huge boost. New current standards, advanced new technology and current developments usually in respect to complications and treatments have a great role to play in the delivery of services and this consequently adds on to the neonatal assessment importance.
