Summary
Golisano Children’s Hospital's NICU in Southwest Florida has become a national leader in neonatal care for premature infants, improving survival rates for those born as early as 22 weeks gestation from 14.3% to 70% in just a few years through a focused quality improvement initiative. This initiative, spearheaded by Dr. William Liu and Dr. Harshit Doshi, emphasizes collaboration among healthcare professionals and the integration of standardized care protocols within the electronic health record system. These advancements not only highlight the potential for enhanced survival and quality of care for vulnerable infants but also set a benchmark for other healthcare facilities aiming to improve outcomes in neonatal intensive care. The success story of families like Taylor Davis's underscores the real-world impact of these innovations on patient care and future treatment protocols.
