Thank you for completing the Kangaroo Care survey and for sharing your expertise as a therapist.
This packet provides two resources to help you and your team strengthen the case for safe, standardized Skin-to-Skin (Kangaroo) Care across all units and into the home:
-
Comprehensive Cost Analysis and Risk Justification – Presents the financial and risk-management rationale for adopting a safety wrap to enhance the safety and consistency of Kangaroo Care, while demonstrating cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
-
Safely Expanding Skin-to-Skin Care Programs in the Hospital and Beyond – An overview of how evidence-based safety wraps can enhance kangaroo care by supporting infants and families, ensuring safe use, and demonstrating benefits for outcomes, parent satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness.
Together, these resources provide both the financial justification and the practical strategies needed to support conversations with hospital leadership, risk management, and patient safety teams.
We are here to support you. Along with providing The Zaky®, we also offer consulting and training to help hospitals strengthen trauma-informed, family-centered practice. Please let us know if you find these resources helpful and how we might further support you and your team.
