The intent is for all of these features of the audit to be implemented and improved during the period of this contract.
The NNAP data driven healthcare quality improvement 3 year aims are to:
• contribute to achieving 50% reductions in neonatal mortality and serious brain injury
• increase the proportion of:
o neonatal services which manage core optimal start metrics to above 80%
o babies born in the right place to 90% .
The audit supplier will work with commissioners and funders to create a coherent strategy for how the improvement goals listed above, or similar, will support the organisations in the neonatal care pathway to try and achieve them.
