Neonatal hotline telephone network. 1979

P H Perlstein, and N K Edwards, and J M Sutherland

By simplifying the process by which telephone contacts are made, improved communications were established between a university-affiliated newborn intensive care center and some of the community hospital nurseries that it serves as a regional resource. Initiation of the improved system of communications was associated with a significant improvement in the survival of infants transferred from the community hospitals to the regional care facility.
