Enhanced communication, documentation, and workflow in the Nursery.

By expanding the information available in the Nursery, Centricity® Perinatal helps improve communication among caregivers and streamline workflow. Centricity Perinatal captures comprehensive patient data and makes it available when and where it is needed to support efficient and effective care of newborns.

From making delivery information available immediately to capturing critical clinical data to creating discharge summary and instruction sheets, Centricity Perinatal helps caregivers provide better care in the Nursery. By putting more information at caregiver’s fingertips, Centricity Perinatal helps to increase direct care time. In supporting connectivity to enterprise healthcare IT solutions, Centricity Perinatal becomes part of the larger, integrated electronic health record for both mom and baby.

Mother-Baby Link

Upon arrival in the Nursery, the information necessary to initiate proper care for the newborn is readily available. No more tracking down information from clinicians to complete the infant record.

The Mother-Baby Link allows critical maternal history and delivery data to flow directly to the infant record. Maternal charts and respective infant charts remain separate medical records, but share relevant information. Data can also be entered manually and updated as necessary.

Interfacing

Inbound/ADT, Lab, and Outbound HL7 interfaces provide seamless connectivity to other enterprise IT systems to foster interoperability and data sharing. This makes relevant information available to the teams who need it , while providing one location for documentation supporting the perinatal continuum of care.

Efficient Documentation

Documentation is efficient and reduces redundant charting that can lead to transcription errors and discrepancies in patient data. Centricity Perinatal supports the flow of information with one-time data entry. Combined data
