Mothering in the NICU: a qualitative exploration of maternal engagement.
This qualitative study reflected a transdisciplinary research partnership between social work, nursing, and neonatology. Maternal experiences in the NICU, from the perspectives of mothers of preterm infants hospitalized in two NICUs, are collected. Results support an ecological systems framework to understanding barriers and facilitators to maternal engagement in the NICU and the utilization of a trauma-informed health care approach in NICU settings.

Patient and family engagement during treatment decisions in an ICU: a discourse analysis of the electronic health record.
This study looked at patient and family engagement during treatment decisions with patients in a medical ICU. A total of 52 patients were included who had been admitted to a hospital ICU during 2016. Half of them met a consensus definition of chronic critical illness, and the other half either died or had transitioned to hospice care in the ICU. Clinical electronic health records (EHRs) were used to document decision points. The phrase “goals of care” was frequently found in the HER and was used to indicate poor prognosis.

Parental perceptions of displayed patient data in a PICU: an example of unintentional empowerment.
The objective of this study was to explore the perceptions of parents of pediatric patients in a PICU regarding real-time open electronic health record data displayed in patient rooms. The investigators suggest that a new health information technology system providing continuous access to open electronic health record data may be an effective way to empower and engage parents in the PICU, but also note potential drawbacks.

Provider use of a novel EHR display in the pediatric intensive care unit. Large Customizable Interactive Monitor (LCIM).
The purpose of this study was to explore providers' perspectives on the use of a novel technology, "Large Customizable Interactive Monitor" (LCIM), a novel application of the electronic health record system implemented in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. The study revealed this next generation HIT might have great potential for family-centered rounds, team education during rounds, and family education/engagement in their child's health in the patient room.
