Abstract
With over 400,000 preterm births in the US annually, neonatal intensive care units (NICUS) are critical to providing high quality care and ensuring optimal health outcomes for preterm neonates. Our objective was to evaluate the impact of a NICU design transition from open-bay (multiple newborns, one room) to single family rooms (SFRs).
