Abstract

As this issue of Clinics in Perinatology illustrates, a profound shift has occurred in the driving purpose of high-risk infant follow-up (HRIF) over the past 5 years. As a result, HRIF has evolved from primarily providing an ethical compass, concerned surveillance and documentation of outcomes, to developing novel models of care, considering new high-risk populations, settings, and psychosocial factors, and incorporating active, targeted interventions to improve outcomes.
