## **The Challenge:** Optimizing NICU care for the best possible outcomes

The NICU is a high-stakes environment where even small improvements can have a profound impact on the lives of fragile infants. Yet, achieving optimal care remains a challenge due to the complex and dynamic nature of the work. Video review of real-time procedures offers a powerful lens for self-reflection and team improvement. However, successfully implementing this tool in the NICU requires careful attention to the delicate balance between critique and creating a safe learning space.

## **The Breakthrough:** Harnessing the power of video review for team-driven improvement

We embarked on a groundbreaking initiative to expand and improve our NICU's video review program. Our goals were ambitious: record a wider range of procedures, include both medical and nursing staff, and, most importantly, foster a collaborative, non-judgmental learning environment. We didn't just create a guideline; we lived it. Using an action research approach, we constantly observed, gathered feedback, and refined our process with every session. This real-world adaptation is what makes our findings so valuable.

**What We Achieved:**

* **Engagement:** 18 well-attended sessions with participation of medical and nursing staff.
* **Acceptance:** Providers embraced the process and felt safe sharing their perspectives.
* **A Living Guideline:** A robust, practical guideline emerged through this collaborative effort.

## **The Secret Ingredient:** A safe space for learning and growth

* **Beyond Critique:** Fostering a collaborative learning culture.
* **Team Empowerment:** Everyone's insights matter.
* **From Feedback to Action:** Translating observations into better care.

## **The Big Picture:** A model for other high-stakes healthcare settings

Our redefined guideline offers a roadmap for other hospitals seeking to harness the power of video review. By prioritizing a safe learning environment, video review can become a cornerstone of continuous improvement in the NICU and beyond.
