Perinatal Best Practices at Your Fingertips exists to provide an easily accessible, up-to-date and reliable source of information to guide the professional care of mothers, fetuses and infants at risk for prematurity and its consequences. The intent of Best Practices at Your Fingertips is to disseminate evidence-based information in a timely manner. The site also features breaking news likely to be important to obstetrical and neonatal professionals, continuing education opportunities, patient education materials and tools or wizards to help practitioners provide efficient care.

The site was created under a grant from the North Carolina March of Dimes by two nurses, Merry-K Moos and Karen Metzguer. Without the expert technical assistance of Keith Cochran their vision would never have been realized.

This website is constantly growing and changing because the evidence is constantly expanding and new topics are continually being developed. Therefore, it is wise to visit often. Information presented on this website is not designed to substitute for clinical judgment or to direct the care of individual patients.
