Alberta Collaborative QI Strategies to Improve Outcomes of Moderate and Late Preterm Infants (ABC-QI Trial)

Length of Stay

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.
