DOI: 10.1016/j.nicl.2015.07.019My research interests relate to improving the outcome of newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) and into school age. I collaborate with the Canadian Neonatal Network, the Consortium for Health Intervention Learning and Development (CHILD) and Dr. Steven Miller.
I am the site investigator for a Canadian multicentre EPIC (Evidence based Practice Intervention and Change) NICU study which is testing the generalizability of EPIC. a new quality improvement methodology that incorporates evidence-based practices, tracking outcomes and quality improvement techniques. As site investigator for the CIHR team in Children’s Pain, we will be developing a Canadian pain database and evaluating whether EPIC can improve the assessment and management of pain in hospitalized children.
With the CHILD project, we have studied the survival and disabilities of extremely low birth weight children, extremely preterm children and those with severe intraventricular hemorrhages (bleed in the brain) in premature infants. We have used local databases to collect this information and are now exploring whether a provincial database linking the BC linked health database and the educational database can provide us with comprehensive information.
To better understand why some children develop disabilities, we are performing leading edge MRI studies of children born preterm, children with heart problems and children with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and will be comparing the MRI studies with the developmental outcome of these children at 1 ½ and 3 years of age.

Every day, our researchers work towards breakthroughs to transform the lives of kids in BC and around the world. Learn about our latest innovations and advancements in child health.
Family Integrated Care or FICare (pronounced “fie-care”) is a neonatal care program developed to increase interactions between parents and their preterm babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). FICare reduces maternal stress and improves babies’ motor and behavioural outcomes.
Welcome to this month’s Research Roundup, a recurring overview of recent studies published by researchers at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR) and the University of British Columbia, and their collaborators.
Congratulations to the BC Children's and BC Women's investigators who were awarded funding through the highly competitive Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Project Grant Fall 2019 competition. Our research community received more than $8 million in new research and bridge grants.
At BC Children’s, we are making discoveries that save lives and transform health care for children in our province and around the world. Our research portfolio includes basic, clinical, population, and public health research.
