Do you often wonder what helps to guide care and policies in healthcare? Guidelines for medical care are driven by research and what the evidence has shown, otherwise known as evidence-based practice. And there are organizations, like the World Health Organization, who review the most up-to-date research findings and develop global guidelines that are meant to help end-users or clinicians make informed decisions on whether, when, and how to undertake specific actions such as clinical interventions, diagnostic tests, or public health measures with the aim to achieve the best possible individual or collective health outcomes. Their goal is that everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health.
On November 15th, 2022 the World Health Organization (WHO) released updated recommendations for care of the preterm and low birthweight infant. The recommendations were derived from a group of diverse experts and stakeholders. After they examined the most up-to-date evidence from low- to -high income countries, they developed the updated guidance about the care of preterm or low birthweight infants.
The recommendations are directed at a large target audience and are beneficial for national policy makers, supervisors, managers, NICU clinicians plus more! Not only is the information pertinent to all of the aforementioned, but it is also important for NICU Parents to know what the general recommendations are for care of the preterm or low birthweight infant. So I wanted to provide you with the cliff notes version spotlighting the most pertinent points out of the 137 page document.
The recommendations include guidelines for preventive and promotive care, care of complications, family involvement and support and a good practice statement. Some of the recommendations are new, whereas others are updated based on emerging new evidence.
We started the review in our previous podcast and continue to the discussion today! You will want to hear these new recommendations from the World Health Organization, so start listening now!
