Quicker team launch times for urgent priority neonatal retrievals: A Quality Improvement Initiative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neonatal retrieval networks have adopted time-centric quality metrics as Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for setting and comparing benchmarking standards. Quicker launch time (departure from base), an essential KPI, enables neonatal retrieval teams to rapidly provide higher-level care to sick infants. The Newborn Emergency Transport Services of Western Australia (NETS WA) facilitates neonatal transfers across largest global retrieval area necessitating quicker team launch times for urgent retrievals. NETS WA conducted a quality improvement (QI) study to quicken team launch times for urgent retrievals.

Aims

The smart aim was to quicken NETS WA team launch times on urgent retrievals to comply with the recent Australian New Zealand Neonatal Retrieval Network 2022 be
