The updated standards advocate for 24-hour access for parents to the NICU wards and recommend provision of a supportive sensory environment that minimises exposure to excessive light, noise, and other stressful stimuli.
If a painful medical procedure is necessary, parents will be encouraged to learn their baby's discomfort signals and provide natural pain relief, for example by breastfeeding or having skin-to-skin contact with the infant.
To ensure continuity of care after hospital discharge, the standards also recommend providing families with a comprehensive plan that includes tailored education, training, and ongoing psychosocial support for parents.
The project was launched five years ago and brought together policy makers, hospital administrators, insurers, professional societies, patient associations, and industry workers to give their recommendations for the implementation of the standards.
The results cover 11 key topics, starting from antenatal and perinatal care, to transition to home, ethical decision-making, palliative care, and long-term follow-up.
An article in The Lancet welcomed the review as "much needed" due to the major factor of premature birth in the death of children under five.
The weekly medical journal praised the changes, despite their need for high investment, and called on health systems to review their protocols in light of the new information and identify priority areas for change.
