[Monitoring vulnerable newborns: why and how?]

Abstract

Since the early 2000s, networks for monitoring vulnerable children have been developing in France. Their mission is twofold: to identify neurodevelopmental disorders in children at an early stage, and to carry out a descriptive epidemiology of the main sequelae diagnosed. To this end, they bring together different professionals who need to acquire a common culture. These networks are financed by regional health agencies, which strive to harmonize practices across the country.
