Transforming data into action to help save babies lives.

Vermont Oxford Network (VON) is a nonprofit voluntary collaboration of health care professionals working together as an interdisciplinary community to change the landscape of neonatal care. Founded in 1988, VON is now comprised of teams of health professionals representing neonatal intensive care units and level I and II care centers around the world, in support of our mission to improve the quali

ty and safety of medical care for newborn infants and their families through a coordinated program of research, education, and quality improvement projects.

Join us for the next VON Grand Rounds Evidence to Practice session focused on erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and their role in neonatal care.

On Wednesday May 6 at 3:00 PM ET, this interactive webinar will explore the current evidence behind erythropoietin and darbepoetin for preventing anemia and improving neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm newborns. Faculty will review emerging data, discuss variation in current practice, and provide dedicated time for questions and discussion. And if your question does not make the discussion during the webinar, it may be a topic on On with VON-our podcast with The Incubator team.

Learn from expert faculty including Drs. Roger Soll, Danielle Ehret, John Zupancic and Souvik Mitra as they examine how evidence can inform clinical decision making and improve outcomes for preterm infants. Bring your questions and join the conversation as we move from evidence to practice!

Health and well being are largely determined by race, ethnicity, income, immigration status, and local neighborhood. The effects are pronounced for infants in NICU care. These graphs, from National Vital Statistics Reports on births in 2023, show us that preterm birth rates among Black non-Hispanic women remain significantly higher than White non-Hispanic women. As NICU care providers, it remains all of our work to help improve outcomes for all women and infants.

The Vermont Oxford Network Health Equity Toolkit provides a free, evidence-based, actionable Potentially Better Practices to reduce disparities in newborn care. It includes practical guides, educational resources, and quality improvement (QI) tools aimed at addressing social determinants of health and improving outcomes for all infants and families.

This week is Black Maternal Heath Week, a week-long campaign founded and led by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance to build awareness, activism, and community-building. Looking through the vast trove of data submitted by VON members, we can plainly see continued health disparities caused by systemic racism. VON teams are dedicated to follow through to address the social determinants of health with the same energy and expertise that we devote to the technical aspects of care. Centers participating in a database with VON are able to see data points grouped by race/ethnicity. This gives members an opportunity to have a deep dive into potential practice changes.

Data presented is for infants born in the US and entered into the VLBW database. Eligibility for the Very Low Birth Weight Database includes any live born infant whose birth weight less than or equal to 1500 grams or whose gestational age is less than or equal to 29 weeks 6 days.

HIE Awareness Month in April honors families and survivors of neonatal/childhood Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy. This graph tells us the trend in therapeutic hypothermia among all infants regardless of gestational age at birth. This treatment remains the gold standard of care to treat moderate to severe HIE within the first few hours of life.
In 2024:
• 4,095 (1.8%) of 229,803 infants at centers submitting data on all NICU admissions were diagnosed with HIE
• Of the 4,095, 73.5% received therapeutic hypothermia
• Of those that were cooled:
o 19.8% had a mild level of consciousness before therapeutic hypothermia
o 57.4% had a moderate level of consciousness
o 22.8% had a severe level of consciousness
The definitions of mild, moderate, and severe can be found in the Manual of Operations.

If your center is currently only participating in the VLBW database and is interested in moving to the Expanded Database, please visit or send us a DM.

This April Fool's Day, don't let assumptions fool you.

In neonatal care, what we think is happening in our units doesn't always reflect reality. Meaningful quality improvement starts with understanding your outcomes, and comparing them to peers. The VON database provides centers with trusted data to inform decisions, identify opportunities, and drive measurable improvement in neonatal care.

Don't rely on assumptions...let the data guide your work.
