ABSTRACT

Quality improvement collaborative (QIC) networks have been instrumental in improving care and outcomes across various populations, demonstrating a consistent track record of success, particularly within neonatal intensive care units on both national and international levels. Successful networks require many structural factors to be in place at both the collaborative and local level. Engagement and investment in QICs promote equitable care by decreasing variation and driving practice improvements. This review provides an overview of the historical context and a successful methodology in neonatology.
