The Acute Care of at-Risk Newborns Program (ACoRN) is designed to teach neonatal stabilization, support the multidisciplinary team, and identify and care for babies who become unwell or are at risk of becoming unwell in the first few hours or days after birth.

The process, tools, knowledge and skills required are designed to be useful regardless of a condition’s complexity or how frequently a practitioner is called upon to manage specific conditions.

• Process: The priority-based, clinically oriented ACoRN process is based on an 8-step framework to help the practitioner systematically gather information, establish priorities and intervene appropriately.
• Tools: The laminated Primary Survey and eight Sequences, Respiratory Score and Neonatal assessment tool are some of the clinical tools developed for the ACoRN Education Program.
• Knowledge:  Core content specific to the ACoRN sequences.
• Skills:  Practical and technical information about required skills.​
