Abstract
The Beth Israel-Deaconess has recently been awarded one of 19 contracts from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to develop, implement and test a telemedicine application to support the care of Very Low Birth Weight Infants. This project is the only one to focus on the care of newborns. We believe that this project will provide a new national approach to managing the care of high-risk newborns by leveraging evolving communication technology.
