ABSTRACT
There is strong evidence that family-centered care (FCC) improves the health and safety of infants and families in neonatal settings. In this review, we highlight the importance of common, evidence-based quality improvement (QI) methodology applied to FCC and the imperative to engage in partnership with neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) families. To further optimize NICU care, families should be included as essential team members in all NICU QI activities, not only FCC QI activities. Recommendations are provided for building inclusive FCC QI teams, assessing FCC, creating culture change, supporting health-care practitioners and working with parent-led organizations.
