Dr. Eric Eichenwald, CHOP’s Division Chief of Neonatology, co-authored the first national standards for neonatal care published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). These standards recognize the importance of consistently offering risk-appropriate care of newborns in medical facilities.

The AAP policy statement, “Standards for Levels of Neonatal Care: II, III, & IV,” observes that while states regulate health care facilities, levels of neonatal care and adherence to requirements vary widely.
