Abstract

Neonatal follow-up has long focused on a model of surveillance and identification of short-term outcomes. This model has long become outdated, with evidence documenting the need for longer follow-up with known school-based challenges and significant gaps in knowledge by educators. This article reviews the history of neonatal follow-up and demonstrates a novel approach to neonatal follow-up, built largely with a hybrid virtual platform, which then became essential with the declaration of the pandemic in 2020.
Keywords: neonatal follow-up; COVID-19; virtual clinic; social media; preterm infant neonatal follow-up; COVID-19; virtual clinic; social media; preterm infant
