To improve care of infants at-risk for neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), the West Virginia Perinatal Partnership worked with pediatric providers in the state to develop a standardized definition for diagnosing NAS, worked with state partners on a surveillance system to assess the prevalence of intrauterine substance exposure and NAS, and implemented an educational program on best practices for screening, diagnosing and caring for at-risk infants.
