NIDCAP Federation International (NFI) operates within the hospitals and health care sector, focusing on nurturing development for hospitalized newborns and their families through the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program. Its work centers on research, development, and dissemination of the NIDCAP approach, along with certification of trainers, health care professionals, and nurseries, to promote an evidence-based, family-centered, and relationship-based care model. The organization targets neonatal units, clinicians, and related care teams seeking to improve outcomes by reducing stress and tailoring care to each infant’s development. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, NFI emphasizes a global vision of implementing NIDCAP in hospitals worldwide, supported by its mission to improve the future for infants and families through individualized care. A recent development noted is the launch of a podcast series accompanying World NIDCAP Day in 2021, highlighting ongoing dissemination efforts.
