#475 - 🟠 [CHNC 2026] - Can You Prove Your Commitment to Quality Without the Data?
Notas do episódio
What does it take to back up a claim that your NICU delivers the highest quality of care? Recording live at the CHNC Symposium in Denver, Daphna reunites with Dr. Rune Toms, system chief of neonatology at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and The Incubator’s very first guest. He explains why Nicklaus is joining the Children’s Hospitals Neonatal Consortium, and how its data on complex level IV patients goes beyond what other networks capture. He describes neonatal care as a chain, where a single unplanned extubation at 3 a.m. can undo weeks of progress, and why frontline clinicians need infrastructure that breaks down silos. He also reflects on the vulnerability it takes to share your data, and why rare conditions demand collaboration.
