What this Trial Is About
The ABC-QI Trial aims to implement collaborative quality improvement (QI) strategies to standardize care for 32-36 week infants in Level 2 and 3 Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) across the province of Alberta. The investigators want to know if using validated quality improvement methods and evidence-based care bundles will decrease the duration of hospital stay and get babies home as quickly as possible.
