In 2023, only 8% of newborns received their first dose of morphine at Hushabye Nursery. The Eat, Sleep, Console model is the primary intervention for infants with NAS at Hushabye Nursery. The National Association of Neonatal Nurses’ evidence-based practice reports that “[t]he Eat, Sleep, Console Model (ESC) is the number one modality that has shown to significantly reduce postnatal opioid use for the management of NAS and decrease length of hospital stay by as much as 73%.” The ESC model of care significantly decreases length of treatment and cost of care.
