Activity Title	Closing the communication gap in neonatal inter-hospital transfer: a neonatal referral form for resource-limited settings - a modified e-Delphi-consensus study
Details	Globally, neonatal mortality fell to 19 per 1000 live births in 2015 with the aim to reduce neonatal mortality to less than 12 per 1000 live births by 2030.. A specialised transport system for neonates can mitigate against these risks.n Objectives Course Objective Standardised neonatal referral forms (NRFs) facilitate effective communication between healthcare providers and ensure continuity of care between facilities, which are essential for patient safety. We sought to determine the essential data items, or core clinical information (CCI), that should be conveyed for neonatal inter-hospital transfer in resource-limited settings (Rounds 1 to 3) and to create an NRF suitable for our setting (Round 4).. We conducted an international, four-round, modified Delphi-consensus study. Round-1 was a literature and internet search to identify existing NRFs. In Round-2 and -3, participants were Rwandan clinicians and international paediatric healthcare practitioners who had worked in Rwanda in the five years before the study.
