Mum Zeena Segeyaro and her twin boys Mathias and Iffysoe will be some of the first patients to participate in the NeoHOME program<\/p><\/div>\n

RBWH has recently launched NeoHOME, a new service designed to support families of eligible babies in the Grantley Stable Neonatology Unit to take their new family member home two to three weeks earlier than they previously have been able to.<\/h4>\n

The service will involve families looking after their baby\/babies at home with the support of daily visits from a neonatal nurse to ensure families feel safe, confident and well-informed.<\/p>\n

NeoHOME will provide the same high quality of care that would be delivered in the Grantley Stable Neonatology Unit, while lessening the impacts of long-term hospitalisation on families such as the stress of being away from other children and the financial impact of car parking and paying for accommodation close to hospital.<\/p>\n

RBWH Neonatal Clinical Nurse Consultant and NeoHOME Project Lead Kate Cogill said the NeoHOME Service is set to assist up to 60 premature or sick babies each year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe final few weeks spent in hospital with a premature or sick baby is often predominantly focused on parents learning how to feed their baby,\u201d Ms Cogill said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of these families have spent many months in hospital by this point, so these final weeks can be a frustrating time as they can see the light at the end of the tunnel and are anxious to get their baby home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Neonatology clinical team identified that there was an opportunity to deliver safe care to babies in the home and teach parents how to feed their baby using the feeding tube, all in the comfort of their own environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that by caring for babies in the home, we can also lessen the amount of time they are dependent on tube feeding and can provide support with the transition to bottle or breast feeding.\u201d<\/p>\n

RBWH Director of Neonatology Pieter Koorts said innovation is at the heart of clinical practice in the Grantley Stable Neonatology Unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Neonatology team are always looking for ways to improve the experience of having a baby in hospital for families,\u201d Dr Koorts said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand how difficult it can be, so allowing babies to go home two to three weeks earlier via the NeoHOME service has the opportunity to make a world of difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the COVID pandemic presented many challenges for the health system as a whole, it also offered opportunities to examine different ways to deliver care. It\u2019s all about making positive improvements for the families we care for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mum Zeena Segeyaro and her twin boys Mathias and Iffysoe will be some of the first patients to participate in the NeoHOME program.<\/p>\n

\u201cMathias and Iffysoe were born on the 22 August 2022 at 31 weeks gestation, so we\u2019ve spent a few months in the NICU while the boys received some extra care,\u201d Ms Segeyaro said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe twins only need help with their feeding now, so when I found out we could receive the same level of care in the comfort of our home with the NeoHOME program, I decided it would be perfect for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy other little boy who is nine-years-old is so excited to meet his new brothers, so it\u2019s great that he can get to know them a little bit sooner too!\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the NeoHOME initiative, RBWH Maternity Services has also announced the MatHOME trial, a maternity Hospital in the Home model of care. MatHOME is designed to provide families with a high-level of maternity care in their own home. Recruitment will commence in 2023, so stay tuned for more details!<\/p>\n<\/div>
