• The Impact of Teleneonatology on the Transport Risk Index of Physiologic Stability (TRIPS) Score for Outborn Neonates Rochester, Minn.

  The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of using real-time, audio-video consults for the Transport Risk Index of Physiologic Stability (TRIPS) Score for Outborn Neonates.

• The TELENEO Trial: A Multicenter Trial of Telemedicine for Advanced Neonatal Resuscitations in Community Hospitals (TELENEO) Rochester, Minn.

  The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of real-time audio-video telemedicine consults with a neonatologist (termed teleneonatology) on the early health outcomes of at-risk outborn neonates delivered in community hospitals. Study eligible at-risk outborn neonates include those born at < 32 weeks' gestation or those who require advanced resuscitation. This study will explore if teleneonatology reduces early mortality and morbidity and improves their delivery room care.
