A little known, yet fun fact about the VON database, is that any NICU can participate, regardless of level. In fact, in Nightingale, our online reporting system, you can select to compare your data specifically to other Level II, III, or IV NICUs. bit.ly/3AXoNjm

Now that’s something to scream about! Collecting data is the beginning. The real magic happens when teams use it to drive quality improvement. VON helps NICUs around the world transform numbers into knowledge and knowledge into action—because no team should face their data alone. bit.ly/4dSZQ7n

On NICU Remembrance Day, we pause to honor the infants who died and those who grieve their loss. Each baby is valued and forever part of our community's story. We recognize the profound impact of these lives and remain committed to learning from every baby to improve care for those yet to come.
