New NICU Self-Assessment Tool to Help Hospitals Evaluate Neonatal Programs

A quick, experience-based way to evaluate neonatal programs and identify opportunities for growth

Onsite Neonatal is excited to introduce our new NICU Self-Assessment Tool — a quick, interactive way for hospital leaders to evaluate neonatal programs using insights drawn from our many years of neonatal care experience.

Built on Expertise, Not Metrics

This tool reflects the key considerations our clinical and administrative leaders have seen make a difference in NICU care. It’s not a scientific score or formal audit — instead, it’s a guided reflection to help hospitals think through important aspects of neonatal care, from staffing and coverage to family support and communication.

Why It Matters

Every NICU is unique, but the principles of high-quality, family-focused care are universal. Hospitals that periodically evaluate their neonatal programs can better align resources, strengthen team collaboration, and create a more consistent care experience for newborns and their families.

Designed for Hospital Leaders

The NICU Self-Assessment Tool is free to use and tailored for hospital administrators, clinical leaders, and care teams. Each section includes context and guidance based on what we’ve learned from decades of working in hospital-based neonatal care programs nationwide.

Get Started Today

Whether you’re preparing for program growth or simply want a fresh perspective on your current approach, the NICU Self-Assessment Tool is a practical first step. Use it to evaluate your neonatal program through the lens of real-world experience — and see how Onsite Neonatal can support your vision for care.
