Tips and TricksResults Copy
PowerChart Maternity has the
functionality to allow results
from mom’s chart to be copied
over to baby (s ) c har t w i th
just a few simple clicks. By
using this, it eliminates the
chance of transcription errors
and also the dreaded “double
documentation” that nurses
are all too familiar with. You can
customize what information you
would like to be copied over,
from newborn delivery data
to maternal lab results. It is
Cerner’s recommendation to set
a policy as to who is responsible
for completing the task and
when. We recommend Result
Copy to be done at least 3 times
during duration of stay, once by
delivery RN at time of delivery,
at 24hrs postpartum and again
at discharge of mother or at the
discretion of the unit.
November 2012
Prenatal Summary A new version of the Prenatal Summary Genview report is now available to all clients on Package 62683. This new version has a new look and a cleaner feel to the report. Each section has been reformatted to increase readability and highlight specific clinical snapshots of a patient’s prenatal information throughout a current pregnancy. The new Prenatal Summary Genview will replace the existing Prenatal Summary Genview and will require some pre-configuration setup. Please refer to the package Special Instructions - End of Package Installation section for more details. For a complete list of CRs on this package, please refer to the Description section of the package.

FetaLink+ 510(k) Clearance: We are very excited to announce the 510(k) clearance of FetaLink+. We recognize that OBGYN providers are constantly on the go and need immediate access to key maternal and fetal information from any location. FetaLink+ is a native application for use on iPads and iPhones. It will allow OB providers visibility to what’s going on within the hospital by displaying maternal and fetal monitoring data and additional clinical data such as EDD, EGA, cervical exam status and annotations -- just to name a few.

This functionality will allow clinicians a single source to document, review, and submit patient data electronically to the Vermont Oxford Network. It will be comprised of a VON Patient Census view and a Single Patient view resembling what is seen here. We are working with solution partners to create an optimal experience.
