    • Submission Description:
    A newborn code review committee was formed in July 2012. Newborn resuscitation documentation was audited for three months, the current form was found to be a barrier to documentation and care. A search of literature, internet, and area hospitals was performed. Forms found were either equal to, or less comprehensive than the current form. The team decided to create a new form, following American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Neonatal Resuscitation Program guidelines.
