Prospective Registration of Taiwan Neonatal Network (TNN)

The Taiwan Neonatal Network (TNN) is an organizational structure that unites the neonatal care centers of multiple hospitals and aims to improve the quality of medical care. Countries around the world have successively established their neonatal medical care network systems to improve the quality of their neonatal care. Since the establishment of the TNN system in 2016, after five years of retrospective statistical analysis of medical records, the establishment of the TNN network system and the short-term and mid-term goals have been completed. In order to continue and improve the long-term goals and objectives of the TNN system, to improve the indicators of newborn care in Taiwan and to establish a more complete preterm infant database, it is planned to change to prospective collection, and the future preterm infant data will be registered in the TNN system. And further establish a database of various preterm infant care outcome indicators and risk factors. After statistical correction, the various preterm infant care outcome indicators among different hospitals can be regarded as the benchmark learning objects of other hospitals, and based on empirical medicine. Medical quality improvement methods have improved the quality of medical care for premature infants in Taiwan.
