Roughly 10% of newborns require some form of assistance at birth, and 1% need major resuscitative efforts. The time to help one of these babies can be measured in minutes, so having the right specialist on hand can have a huge impact on the child's outcome. Six-and-a-half years ago, the Mayo Clinic launched the Newborn Resuscitation Telemedicine Program (NRTP) to offer telemedicine consults to community hospitals within its health system during high-risk neonatal resuscitations. The program has been successful in reducing unnecessary transfers and growing the number of patient referrals to Mayo Clinic.
