FAMILY INTEGRATED CARE

We designed the four pillars of FICare to support this model. Not all units will have all the resources to fulfill all aspects of the pillar but it is important to build on this framework. Although we focused on implementation in the NICU environment, this model can potentially be applied to other health care settings. The successful implementation of FICare is dependent on the multidisciplinary team working with the parents to provide the best possible care for infants in the NICU.
