We already started to develop the II Consensus Volume II of the following of the High Risk NB that includes some of the following areas:

• Newborn with surgical alterations. 

• Nursing in monitoring the newborn high risk

• Early interventions during the first years of High Risk Newborns. 

• Children who are discharged from neonatology with Chronicle Needs for Technological Support. 

• Strategies skin to skin care in Latin America.

BACKGROUND

• The SeguiSIBEN group was formed in 2005 as part of the SIBEN Mission-Vision. At that time, in an unprecedented original initiative in Latin America, SIBEN Board decides that tracking newborns discharged from the neonatal intensive care should be an essential part of society or corporation such as SIBEN and invites professionals interested in this area to establish and develop SeguiSIBEN.

• Since then SeguiSIBEN has been consolidated through communication and participation of members from different regions and countries interested in improving the quality of care of those newborn at risk who have been discharged from the neonatal units of the countries of Latin America, with universally recognized risk and therefore require special attention and vigilance.

• Given the importance of this task in improving the outcomes of neonatal care, the Board decided that the 2008 Annual SIBEN Congress should be chaired by an professional with high experience  and specialized in monitoring high risked NB 

• Communication between members has been gradually given through the exchange of emails and communication between thn and fast in the workshops held during the Annual Congress SIBEN, Videoconferencing and Conferences Group incurred since 2007.

• Through these years we have been incorporating members from different countries. It is expected to have referents designated in each country or region to optimize the performance of our group. Currently we have to nominate the 2014 Counselor.

• Since the creation of tasks SeguiSIBEN preliminary diagnostic tasks of monitoring progress on High Risk  NB in Latin America have been developed. During the workshops clinical cases were treated and experts were invited so as to deal with different topics and issues of the following up, we had the honor of inviting two foreign guests of international prestige in the area of high risk follow up: Dr. M. Hack of USA and Dr. S. Saigal Canada.

• If within the field of neonatal care you are interested in monitoring neonatal patients who are discharged as high risk patient, and you are member of SIBEN and want to belong to our group, please contact us info@siben.net

What is shown till now is only a small sample of what can be achieved by working in teams and where contributions add up. New professionals with similar concerns multiply and enrich the action achieving this workgroup. The engine has been and continues to be the need to meet even more Latin American babies and share our different realities, ideas, ways of working, to support and grow as a group to disseminate updated knowledge strategies and monitoring plans for change that improve and contribute directly to the health of our babies. We hope to keep you in Segui-SIBEN and incorporate more and more members. Do not hesitate to contact us to continue to participate actively.
