The nursing personnel of the Neonatology Unit of Trento Hospital cares for the transportation of newborns in the Trento Province (more than 7500 transportations have been performed to date). Aim of the study is the evaluation of the quality of care as documented in the ad hoc neonatal transportation data-bank. A further goal is the formulation and validation of simple and easy to collect indicators of "improvement of care". Examples of indicators used to assess the activities of the years 1996 and 1997 were the number of transportations with functioning equipment; the number of newborns with body temperature registered; the number of transportation cards correctly filled out. These simple indicators allowed to identify areas where the quality of care could be improved. The cause-effect diagram used allowed the involvement of all the nursing personnel in the identification of problems and of possible solutions. An example of the process followed for identifying and preventing hypothermia is presented and discussed.
特伦托医院新生儿科的护理人员负责特伦托省新生儿的转运工作（截至目前已完成超过7500次转运）。本研究的目的是评估在特设的新生儿转运数据库中记录的护理质量。另一个目标是制定并验证简单且易于收集的“护理改善”指标。用于评估1996年和1997年活动的指标示例包括设备运行正常的转运次数；记录了体温的新生儿数量；正确填写的转运卡数量。这些简单指标有助于确定护理质量可提升的领域。所使用的因果图让所有护理人员参与到问题及可能解决方案的识别中。文中展示并讨论了识别和预防体温过低所遵循流程的一个示例。
