Healthcare Education
Research shows disparities in infant outcomes for families with a non-English language of preference (NELP). The NELP Resource Bundle includes action-oriented, evidence-based, or evidence-derived change ideas that NICU team members can implement to improve outcomes for families with a non-English language of preference and advance health equity.
View the webinar recording from January 31, 2023.
The NELP Resource Bundle includes:
A mini-toolkit of action-oriented change ideas broken out by drivers of disparities and by NICU team role (see documents to the right). The mini-toolkit references many additional tools that can be found in this resource bundle, such as:
- Customizable NICU Family Badge Template
- Print-and-Go NICU Family Badge Templates
- Playlist of Spanish Language NICU Education Videos - Flyer for Families
- Playlist of Spanish Language NICU Education Videos - Information Sheet for NICU Staff
- Signage for Infant’s Crib/Room Indicating NELP Family Status
- Community Supports
- CPQCC has partnered with families from across the United States to develop ten tips for improving family-centered care and health equity for NICU families of color. The tips stem from research that shows that families of color often receive unequal treatment in the NICU (Sigurdson et. al, 2018).
The resources below are designed to assist HRIF Data Contacts in abstracting and entering data into the HRIF Reporting System as efficiently and effectively as possible. If you have a question regarding any of these resources, please submit a ticket through our Help Desk.
Resources for entering data into the NICU Database can be found on the Data Resources page under NICU.

Pesi Conference
When a baby is born prematurely and needs to be hospitalized in the NICU it is an overwhelming experience for families. And when families with premature babies come from multicultural backgrounds, this experience is often even more challenging. In this session, Ashley Randolph will talk about the unique needs of parents of color in the NICU, including how cultural factors impact how a family responds to the NICU experience. She will review how NICU professionals and families can establish a relationship with all families that is based on trust, mutual respect, and positive consistent communication. You will be introduced to the skills, tools, and resources to deliver more equitable care in the NICU.
