|---|---|---|---|
| Following Baby Back Home (FBBH) | Does not meet HHS criteria because there are no high- or moderate-rated effectiveness studies of the model. | Does not meet HHS criteria for tribal population because the model has not been evaluated with a tribal population. |

Model description
Following Baby Back Home (FBBH) serves families who reside in Arkansas and have medically complex, high-risk infants who are discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). FBBH aims to reduce morbidity and mortality rates among medically complex, high-risk infants by reducing preventable infant rehospitalizations, improving adherence to infant medical appointments and immunizations, and increasing families’ skills and self-efficacy in caring for their high-risk infants. The model consists of home visits with a registered nurse and a licensed social worker. The home visiting team provides care coordination, helps families identify local resources to meet the infant’s service needs, and provides referrals to support families’ social functioning and overall well-being. FBBH offers services immediately following the infant’s discharge from the NICU until the child's third birthday. FBBH includes two home visits per month for the first two months after enrollment, one home visit per month until the child is one year old, and one visit every other month until the child's third birthday.

Summary of findings
When a model has no manuscripts that report high- or moderate-rated findings, HomVEE does not report research findings.
Implementation
HomVEE only publishes detailed model implementation profiles for reviewed models that have well-designed research (high- or moderate-quality rating) according to HomVEE’s published procedures and standards.
