What We’re Doing Roadmap The second half of the calendar year we at Cerner begin reflec ng in more detail what the roadmap for our solu ons will be for the next year and years to come. As always, there could be some changes to these based on unexpected projects such as defect correc ons, regulatory requirements or global requirements but we do all possible to adhere to the roadmap. In 2014 our focus will be FetaLink desktop, development of the Pregnancy Workflow MPage and the second phase of our new mobile solu on, FetaLink+. FetaLink Desktop The last few months we have been working with the Cerner DeviceWorks team who own the iBus pla orm on which FetaLink depends. Beginning with 2014.01 both FetaLink and iBus will be released together. This means that FetaLink will always be released on the newest iBus code. In the case of 2014.01 this will be iBus 5.2. This release is scheduled to be Generally Available to all clients in April of 2014. The FetaLink 2014.01 code is quite technical in nature and includes enhancements to streamline implementa ons and upgrades by consuming the iBus Configura on Service as well as back‐end service improvements to limit the amount of failure points and further op mize up me. The second FetaLink release of 2014 en tled 2014.02 is one that we’re super excited to offer as we believe it will provide enhancements for which many of you have been asking and that will improve the user experience. These include: revamping the Pa ent ‐to‐Device‐Associa on (P2DA) workflow, developing a quick access for archived strips to reduce the amount of me it takes to access strips as well as improve accessibility from the Pregnancy Summary MPage and development of Coincidence Aler ng. This release is scheduled for October 2014. Pregnancy Workflow MPage For those of you familiar with the Workflow‐Based MPage that was released for physicians in 2013, we are developing one specific for the Pregnancy workflow. Our first focus is the Prenatal workflow specifically the Ini al Visit and Ongoing Visits. We are looking to have an ini al phase available with the 5.2 MPage package to be released in April 2014.

In The News
The remainder of the year we will focus on building out the Inpa ent side of this as well as the Postpartum Ambulatory tab. Our vision includes a workflow‐based MPage that includes the following tabs: Ini al Visit, Ongoing Visit, Labor/Ante‐/Triage/GYN/ Admission/Manage/Discharge. As we prototype these addi onal sec ons we will be pos ng them on our collabora on community uCern page. This new MPage will allow us to adopt Dynamic Documenta on for the OBGYN physician and further op mize physician usage of PowerChart Maternity.

Tips & Tricks PowerNote vs. Dynamic Documentation The Women’s Health Physician Playbook outlines our recommenda on for OB physician’s to u lize PowerNote for ini al, intrapartum and postpartum documenta‐ on while leveraging Interac ve View for ongoing prenatal office visits. We have not recommended use of Dynamic Documenta on for the following reasons:
We do not have a Workflow‐Driven MPage that easily allows Dynamic Documenta on.
We u lize repor ng that requires discrete data (episiotomy/lacera on/ Perinatal Core Measures) and cannot currently be leveraged outside of PowerNote. These reports will have incomplete/blank data if CKI values are not available.
PowerChart Maternity’s NST workflow requires PowerNote for OB Nurses for physician sign off, a achment of FetaLink strip, and repor ng. This func onality currently doesn’t exist for Dynamic Documenta on.
