How NICU Certification Review Are Improving Service Delivery

By Harriet Porter


Neonatal Intensive Care Unit commonly abbreviated as NICU certification has had to be reviewed due to advancement in technology, extensive research and health services and practices standardization nationally. The NICU certification review is particularly for new NICU practitioners waiting to be certified. Past procedures are still the norm in over 5000 neonatal clinics in the United States of America.

Due to current specifications of the intensive care units, a NICU is allowed to host at least new 10 newborns at a time. The normal number of staff is two pediatricians and six neonatal intensive nurses who are certified which make the units be in a good position to handle emergencies based on current standards. Although there has been a sharp drop in birth rate according to December 2013 statistics the population still is growing at a constant rate. The operations at ICU should be addressed as to be ready to handle any kind of emergency.

In this regard, healthcare reviews performed by private and government medical agencies have proven to be invaluable in evaluating and determining the strengths of neonatal intensive care units. After intensive scrutiny of both the facilities, reviews and their successive publications, such reviews are subsequently passed to medical experts and regular citizens alike to solicit for opinions on how to best improve intensive care services for newborn babies. On the other hand, anyone wishing to join the nursing force is furnished with essential information on how neonatal units operate.

Another key concern that NICU reviews address is the cost associated with establishing and maintaining such units. To an ordinary citizen neonatal clinics might appear to be cheap to establish and operate but in real sense such facilities are equal to small-but very crucial- hospitals on their own. As a result, such reviews provide instrumental reports on the overheads associated with establishing fully-fledged baby hospitals capable of handling all forms of cases ranging from physical to psychological complications in newborns.

Another concern addressed by neonatal certification reviews in the equipment usually used in these clinics. As it was earlier mentioned that they operate as independent fully operational units under the hospital, they also operate on their singular equipment capable of handling various forms complications newborns may develop. To improve service delivery then this information from the assessments is vital as it offers intuitiveness on the way to improve the equipment.

The ordinary citizens are ignorant on the process of baby delivery. The reviews are thus tasked with the responsibility to pinpoint the activities that are performed prior to emergency child delivery procedures. It also highlights how valuable the knowledge on such procedures is to the medical practitioners. Past experience successively attained by those working in the neonatal units, can provide insight into how the NICU management can be improved.

The reviews are not only a source of valuable insight but also enable the provision of alternatives to the current procedures used in the certification of the neonatal care centers and units. This means that the reviews are an important pivot in the detailed and all inclusive studies on the neonatal units. This can be used as a basis for establishing improved standards or benchmarks for application in the sector.

In conclusion, it is easy to overlook the role of NICU certification reviews in promoting education. It is thus worth mentioning the significant information such reviews provide towards improving the knowledgebase used in learning institutions. Information based on current standards, new technologies as well as current developments-in terms of treatments and complications- play an important role in service delivery and as a result further emphasizes the importance of neonatal assessments.
