The Iowa Neonatal Quality Collaborative's (INQC) first quality initiative (QI) focused on improving the use of breast milk in NICUs and nurseries across the state through discharge and at home. If you have an interest in submitting future ideas for QI projects for the collaborative, or articles of interest to our readership, please let us know through our contact page.
In May 2019, the INQC began to develop a charter for it's next QI project, which will concentrate on neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) assessment, care and treatment.
