Maternity
Our specialist maternity module provides a complete solution to documenting a woman's obstetric journey - from early pregnancy and the first booking visit, antenatal care and fetal medicine, through to all aspects of labour management, postnatal care and discharge information. The system also provides comprehensive support for recording newborn postnatal care up until final community discharge.
It offers total continuity of care across settings beyond the hospital and out into the community is supported. Robust functionalities support community users to record the care they provide without requiring connectivity to the main system. Information recorded offline is securely transmitted to the main system and available as part of the patient record, not just as a static document, but for viewing, acting and reporting on.
It has in-built reporting tools allowing Trusts to extract raw data for further analysis. A specialist business intelligence suite for maternity departments, maternity business intelligence (MBI), is also available. This takes reporting to the next level, providing simple yet powerful tools for more complex reporting and analysis. MBI also takes care of the entire end-to-end reporting process for the maternity services data set, including data validation prior to submissions. Both functionalities offer support for statutory, national and local returns, including the maternity services data set, commissioning data sets, maternity payment tariffs, and Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) audits.
If they see a woman out in the community, they’re typing straight into her record. If they then refer the woman to the hospital, it’s already there in her records when she arrives at the hospital, because they’ve been doing it live.
