The NANN Advanced Competency in Developmental Care
Developmental care is a philosophy that embraces the concept of dynamic interaction between the infant, family, and surrounding environment. Developmentally supportive care provides a framework in which the environment of care and the process of delivering care are modified and structured to support the individualized needs of the developing newborn and family. In support of developmental caregiving for the neonatal infant and family, NANN has established the Advanced Competency in Developmental Care.
The purpose of this program is to promote excellence and professionalism by acknowledging healthcare practitioners who have acquired a body of knowledge and expertise in the field, as assessed through portfolio evaluation and online testing. Portfolio evaluation will be based on in-hospital care of the newborn and infant with a family focus.
