BiliRecs is a clinical decision support tool based on the 2022 revised guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics to provide a framework for the prevention and management of hyperbilirubinemia (or Jaundice) in newborn infants of 35 or more weeks of gestation. The goal of this tool is to reduce the incidence of severe hyperbilirubinemia and bilirubin encephalopathy while minimizing the risks of unintended harm such as maternal anxiety, decreased breastfeeding, and unnecessary costs or treatment.
