Parent Navigator
Parents will be contacted by the parent navigator within 2 business days after discharge to assess how the family is coping, answer questions, and provide necessary resources. Navigators will be in touch with families monthly and according to the parent's needs. They will assist the parent in making and keeping appointments, answer questions about insurance coverage, medical equipment and supplies, and serve as a liaison between parent and healthcare providers. However, the specific PN intervention for each family will be based on each family's needs and therefore may differ.
Care Notebook
A care notebook will be provided to all parents at discharge. The notebook was created to provide resources and serve as an organizer for appointments for parents of NICU graduates. It was based on peer to peer feedback from former NICU parents, in addition, to community resources developed by current Parent Navigator Program at Children's National Health System.
