Merge™ is a clinical trial and real-world validated model of family centered care for the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Health care provider roles broaden with a focus on educating and supporting parents as they gain knowledge, skills, and confidence in care of their baby. A standardized implementation process supports operationalization to increase fidelity to this model of FICare and ensure desired outcomes. With Merge™, parents are less stressed and more confident, babies go home sooner, and hospitals avoid costs. The aim of the MBSI project is to (1) complete digitization of fidelity audit processes, and beta test; (2) update business documents and financial projections to integrate new fidelity audit processes; (3) convene a coalition of neonatal care leaders to strategize about a regional approach to adopting Merge™.
