Description

Background

• Neonatal mortality is higher in hospitals with low birth rates

• More than two-thirds of hospitals deliver less than one neonate per day in Maine

• Identification of neonatal preparedness is lacking and will assist in prioritization of education and outreach initiatives to delivery hospitals

• Our objective was to engage stakeholders to understand current neonatal readiness at delivery hospitals across the state and identify barriers to and helpful resources for improving neonatal care delivery
