title: Revising oxygen targeting for very low birth weight infants.
abstract: Translating new knowledge into practice requires sufficient time, administrative support, and access to current information. A regional level III neonatal intensive care unit was tasked with updating a best practice that challenged the history of its well-recognized success in this field. Using strategies that can be applied in any setting, this interprofessional team drove the successful adoption of the updated best practice using a multidimensional implementation plan to promote patient safety.
