Resuscitation documentation in the NICU is not standardized. Accurate and complete documentation in the NICU is important for legal and quality improvement outcomes. Providing standardized documentation training to NICU nurses can improve quality outcomes of code documentation and limit subjective variations.

Learning Objectives:

Demonstrate how resuscitation documentation can improve with standardized nurse training.
Discuss the necessity of complete and accurate code documentation.
