In that same spirit of information sharing, we pivoted from our work on the Directory to develop a page on the Neonatology Solutions website with links to trusted resources that we found helpful during our preparations, as well as for sharing the guidelines and pathways that we developed locally in the hopes that they might help others who are still designing their own.

We have also updated the Neonatology Conference page with the latest information regarding the numerous conferences that have had to be canceled, rescheduled, or postponed. Several have adapted their conference content to a distance-based webinar format, and we have included that information, including links to the individual conference sites.

With those preparations now in place, we have resumed Directory completion. NICU data for more than 1,250 NICUs has now been populated. We are continuing the final entry of units throughout CA and TX, and we anticipate having these completed by May. Once the final NICUs are entered, the remaining state summaries will be completed, and we will then enter into a regular cadence of routine updating and accuracy validation of the Directory content. As always, we appreciate your help by notifying us of any inaccurate or missing information via the easy-to-use links on the website or email me directly at Scott@NeonatologySolutions.com.

In the coming weeks, we will also endeavor to provide information and resources for our Neonatology fellow trainee colleagues; the global pandemic has significantly disrupted job searches and relocations. If there are specific questions, ideas, concerns, or guidance that we can attempt to address, please reach out via the email address above.

Stay healthy!
