| Recommendation
OMIC first developed and distributed ROP Safety Net protocols in 2006. Our experience in helping ophthalmologists implement these patient safety measures has convinced us that liability for ROP care can only be decreased if ophthalmologists work closely with neonatologists, nurses in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), hospitals, and parents. We accordingly developed sample protocols—our ROP Safety Net Toolkit—for both office- and hospital-based care.
