What We’re Doing continued EGA at Delivery Rule Extra! Extra! Read all about it! The EGA rule is FINALLY done and lives on the following package: 83387 PowerChart Maternity Inpa ent Content (July 2015). This is the EGA at Delivery rule that is in our Inpa ent Content Package. The rule has been updated to recognize each dynamic group so that in the event the mother has mul ples, and the babies are delivered on separate days, each baby’s EGA will be reflected appropriately in the mom’s chart and can then be copied over to the babies chart. There are a few new things that you will need to know as the workflow for the rule to evoke is slightly different now. When a date and me of birth is documented and the first result copy occurs to the baby’s chart, the rule will evoke and run. It will trace back the path to find which baby the EGA needs to be documented on and place that EGA within the proper dynamic group for that baby. Then, when the second result copy happens, that EGA will copy over to the baby’s chart.
In The News continued Wyoming Medical Center Wyoming Medical Center is now receiving the milk from the Mothers’ Milk Bank in Denver. It will be available to any mother whose baby needs more milk than she’s able to produce, said Monica Money, the hospital’s nursery clinical educator.
Did You Know Pregnancy and Lactation Rule The purpose of the rule is to warn of poten al adverse reac ons during pregnancy and breas eeding. When a medica on is ordered and the pa ent is a female between the ages of 8 and 70, the medica on is compared to a list of drugs which could poten ally result in harm to pa ents who are pregnant or breas eeding. The rule evaluates medica ons that are pregnancy categories C, D, X and N. If the medica on is found to be one of the above classifica ons that are not safe in pregnant or breas eeding mothers, then an alert is fired to warn of the issues with the medica on choice. A new version of this rule has recently been released and lives in the following packages:
82366 PowerChart Maternity Ambulatory Content (June 2015)
83387 PowerChart Maternity Inpa ent Content (July 2015)
The new service is part of an overall attempt to keep babies who need special care at Wyoming Medical Center rather than sending them to hospitals outside the state, Money said. -Casper Star Tribune

We would love to hear about topics you would like to see covered in future issues.
Client Spotlight Universal Health Services, Inc. of Delaware The Acute Care Division of Universal Health Services, Inc. of Delaware has 25 facili es, 17 of which offer birthing services. Prior to February 2013, all 17 facili es had autotomy in managing one of three obstetric care EMRs: Philips OB TraceVue (11), Hill-Rom NaviCare WatchChild (2), and GE Centricity (4). However, from February 2013 through December 2013, all 17 birthing facili es converted to a common system, Cerner’s PowerChart Maternity and FetaLink. Planning for the conversion began September 2012 with first facility to launch in February 2013. Having all birthing facili es on one system has provided a new opportunity for us to improve evidence-based prac ce through order sets, labor assessments, and high-risk pregnancy management. In addi on, it has built a connectedness across the company as RNs from each of the birthing facili es became traveling SuperUsers to the other facili es’ PCM launches. This teambuilding has increased communica on between facili es both formally in a endance at our monthly mee ngs and informally in emailing each other with ques ons. Finally, being on one system has improved high reliability with standardizing specific medica ons and prac ces, promo ng a culture of safety and accountability, iden fying opportuni es to improve staffing. We con nue working toward op miza on and evidence based prac ce, o en using the vehicles of “PCM User Community” and “OBHRU Leadership” monthly mee ngs, in:

Got News?
By Patrizia Smouse Our clients and fellow associates in the UK have had a busy couple of months. We wanted to acknowledge two more sites in the London area that have gone live with PowerChart Maternity early this summer: Croydon Health Services NHS Trust and Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. Kaisha Weldy and I had the pleasure to visit the hospital in Croydon when we were in England last summer. I s ll remember their colorful maternity unit and wandering through the streets of Croydon trying to find a taxi and ul mately the hospital.
Do you have good news to share about your facility? We’d love to share it with our community members.
Send your information to WomensHealth@Cerner.com
and we will include it in our
monthly newsletter.

Women’s Health Newsletter FetaLink+ Time for your life without missing a beat of theirs For many healthcare providers, work does not just end when they leave the hospital; obstetric providers never stop thinking about their pa ents and the care they are receiving. FetaLink+ mobile technology allows for care providers to see what is going on at the hospital remotely, enhancing decision support from beyond the four walls. FetaLink+ not only allows providers to view live fetal and maternal monitoring data anywhere at any me, but it aids in care team communica on. How many mes are labor and delivery nurses calling physicians and trying to explain the fetal monitoring strip data over the phone? The answer is every day. The goal of FetaLink+ is not to replace the communica on between the care team, but instead enhance it. It provides a way to communicate about a specific pa ent while viewing live fetal and maternal monitoring data, scrolling back in me to look at trends and having per nent pregnancy history right at their finger ps. Because it is fully integrated with PowerChart Maternity, care providers also have access to pa ents’ pregnancy summary with key details such as allergies, pregnancy history details, risk factors, cervical exams and more. Since the release of FetaLink+, 18 Women’s Health client sites have successfully implemented this mobile technology and have integrated it into their labor and delivery workflow. Want to know more about how FetaLink+ can enhance your workflow and pa ent care? Please contact John Folmnsbee at john.folmnsbee@cerner.com or a member of the Women’s Health team.
