Did you know you can see the VON Membership Survey in Nightingale Reporting? 
The annual Membership Survey reports information about center characteristics such as number of beds and admissions, obstetrical services, staffing, levels of care, and more. 

You can find the Membership Survey report and other annual reports in the "Report Download" page of Nightingale.
New Quality Improvement Foundations Online Course is Available to All at Your Center
QI Foundations
The Quality Improvement Foundations course is a step-by-step, easily digestible roadmap to help you plan, prepare, and run repeated tests of change to optimize your improvement project.

It is designed to build a shared understanding of effective QI for all health care professionals and parent partners involved in newborn care, and counts for 3.5 CME/CNE for unlimited members at your center (with VON Quality Circle membership).
All staff and family/parent partners at Quality Circle members can access the course, based on the Sequence to Achieve Change, in their VON program pages (log in). 

See the full list of Quality Circle members at the bottom of this email.

Case of the Year at NANN in 2023 
For years, neonatal advanced practice providers and nurses have stretched their analytical muscles to discover an intriguing clinical case during the Case of the Year presentation at the VON Annual Quality Congress. We are no longer hosting the Annual Quality Congress, and this year VON will present the Case of the Year in partnership with the National Association of Neonatal Nurses at the NANN Annual Conference, September 26-28, 2023, in Anaheim, California. 

The case will highlight one or more of the following:
  • An atypical presentation or outcome of a common disease
  • An unusual disease process or diagnostic challenge
  • An ethical challenge
  • A transport challenge
  • A patient safety-related case
