    • The strategic planning process facilitated the definition of minimum safe staffing levels for NNPs, interns, residents, and neonatologists.
    • The group successfully advocated for and secured additional NNP positions.
    • Organizational support for 10% protected nonclinical time was obtained.

    Conclusions:

    • Strategic planning is a viable and effective method for NNP groups to address challenges and enhance practice.
    • Data-driven justification is crucial for securing resources and improving NNP work environments.
    • Empowering NNPs in practice model development leads to improved patient care and professional satisfaction.
