ABSTRACT
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common morbidity experienced by infants born extremely preterm. With improved survival of extremely preterm infants, rates of BPD have increased and the number of infants with established BPD being cared for in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) is increasing. To address the complex clinical needs of infants with established BPD, interdisciplinary BPD programs have been developed at level-IV NICUs throughout the United States. Interdisciplinary BPD programs adopt the principles of chronic care models that differ in size, scope, and practices when compared to traditional acute care NICU’s clinical programs. The purpose of this review is to summarize the collaborative and innovative features of interdisciplinary BPD clinical care programs.
