Wisconsin has recently experienced a rapid increase in the number of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), from 6 in the 1970s to 18 in 2003. Over the last year, the Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care (WAPC) convened meetings in response to threats to regionalized care and worsening of perinatal outcomes, noted especially in some racial/ethnic groups. WAPC defined actions to address quality improvement, including adoption of designations for levels of care published by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, definition of perinatal outcomes sensitive to quality of care, collection and analysis of outcome data, and continued statewide discussions about the status of regionalized care and outcomes. WAPC invites others to join in cooperative efforts to address quality of care and responsible utilization of resources.

The Brown University AIDS Program and the Rhode Island Department of Health joined with health care practitioners, researchers, and representatives of community-based health, social service, and advocacy organizations to create comprehensive guidelines on nonoccupational HIV postexposure prophylaxis for the state of Rhode Island. These guidelines offer health care practitioners detailed advice on the evaluation and management of blood or body fluid exposures outside the health care setting, e.g., through sexual assault, consensual sex, injecting-drug use, or needlestick injuries. In these circumstances, HIV postexposure prophylaxis serves those for whom primary prevention measures have failed or were impractical or impossible. The guidelines represent the end product of coordination among private and public, academic and nonacademic, clinician and layperson groups committed to decreasing the incidence of HIV infections in the state of Rhode Island. The guidelines serve as both a resource for health care practitioners and a means of educating them on this method of HIV prevention.
