12. How Should we Define An NNU Admission?
One of the most regular criticisms of Atain has been that the reduction seen in percentage of live births admitted to NNU is not a change to actual practice but rather a change in BadgerNet recording. This has particularly been from units where babies coming to NNU perhaps for initial assessment or for antibiotics, but do not have an NNU cot assigned are having that days location of care recorded as NNU. We have suggested that these babies should really have location of care assigned as PNW (or TC ward).
But this got us asking how other units are defining location of care as NNU and we realised that there are many different ways ranging from the example just mentioned to units that do not record the baby as an NNU admission until they have been assigned a cot here for a set amount of hours.
This will mean that even within the network we will be seeing quite a variation in admission numbers purely because of differences in practices here, so we thought it might be useful to have a standard network guideline for this. Our starting suggestion would be that once a baby is assigned an NNU cot and nurse then they should be recorded as location of care NNU for that day – but we would really like to hear others thoughts /current practices / concerns / ideas around this and there is a poster on the wall where people can lease their thoughts on this during the day
