How do you answer when a parent tells you what ChatGPT said about their baby? Dr. Lindsey Knake makes the case that this is an old problem in new clothing. Families have been arriving with outside information for years, from the neonatology Facebook groups to a parent asking why you chose that particular steroid for extubation. Her honest answer to that one was that nobody really knows, but we can talk about it. What is different now is the volume and the fluency. She argues that is not a threat to the relationship. Going through what a family found, together, is a conversation rather than a correction. And sometimes the model explains something at their level better than we manage to in the moment. That last part is worth sitting with. If a chatbot can meet a parent where they are more consistently than we do at three in the afternoon on a busy day, that tells us something about how we counsel, not just about the technology. 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… #nicu #neonatal #babies #medicine #newborn #innovation #podcast

Are you still building your NICU protocols from scratch, alone, hoping someone else has already solved this problem? Dr. Christina Muffy Sollinger and Dr. Sarvin Ghavam sent one email to a neonatology listserv asking if anyone wanted to talk about sharing clinical guidelines. Over 120 people responded before the listserv broke. That moment became NeoGuide, a national collaborative now bringing together clinicians from level four academic centers to small rural NICUs around the shared work of practice pathways and implementation science. Because it turns out we are not as divided as our variability suggests. We just never had a place to compare notes. NEC data has shown us that consistency of care matters as much as the specific protocol you choose. NeoGuide is building the infrastructure to make that consistency possible across institutions, not just within them. In this episode Ben sits down with Muffy and Sarvin to hear how it started, what it looks like today, and where it is going. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts: buff.ly/lODGJkI #nicu #neonatal #babies #medicine #newborn #innovation
