The Better Outcomes through Research for Newborns (BORN) Network was founded in 2010 to increase the evidence base for the care of term and late-preterm newborns through collaborative research projects.
Routine hospital care for newborns is essential for a safe and healthy transition home and plays a key role in preventing common newborn problems that may lead to hospital readmission, such as weight loss, dehydration, and hyperbilirubinemia. Most routine care in the well baby nursery is not based on strong evidence, but rather on expert opinion as well as historical and anecdotal experience.
The BORN Network was created to change that: Until now, there was no concerted effort to study newborn nursery care on a national basis. The BORN Network is recognized as a core program of the APA.
More about BORN
Mission
The BORN Network mission is to improve the health of newborns and their families by establishing an evidence base for optimal outcomes. The BORN Network is a national collaborative of pediatric clinicians and researchers who evaluate care in the birth setting and in the transition to home.
Goals
The overarching goal of the BORN Network is to conduct research to establish a firm evidence-base for the routine care of the term and late preterm infant. Our vision is that the BORN Network become internationally recognized and utilized by practitioners and educators as the primary source for evidence-based practice and health care delivery for newborns and their families.
Enroll as an Individual BORN Member, then enroll your institution and newborn nursery! (View the site enrollment survey beforehand to gather necessary information!)
The potential of the BORN Network lies in you! The evidence for newborn care can only be developed with enrollment of a large, diverse, nationally representative sample of newborns. Your ideas, energy, and willingness to collect a small amount of data will set the national agenda, shape the practice of physicians, and ensure high quality care in newborn nurseries everywhere.
Incentives to Participate
Once you have joined the network, you will have the following opportunities to participate and contribute to furthering the evidence-base for newborn care:
- Complete surveys on your current newborn practices that will allow us to understand the current state of newborn care in the US and link specific practices to outcomes.
- Collect data on network research studies
- Be elected to either the Research or Executive Committees of BORN and formulate the future of the network
- Be elected as a managing director of BORN
- Develop a research study for the BORN network to conduct
- Be a principal investigator or co-investigator on BORN network studies
- Provide comments on proposed, planned or ongoing research projects
