Link Labor and Delivery Information to Enterprise Clinical Information Solutions to Help Improve Workflow, Efficiency And Patient Safety

Horizon Perinatal Care™ brings together the tools uniquely required by the labor and delivery specialty with enterprise clinical solutions that drive strategic patient safety initiatives – all as part of the perinatal clinician’s workflow.

The implementation of enterprise clinical solutions such as computerized provider order entry (CPOE)  and bar-code medication administration, combined with the increasing demand for their use in the perinatal environment, drove the efforts to provide a perinatal-centric workflow. As a result, perinatal clinicians are able to benefit from such enterprise clinical tools, while relevant information is shared between the perinatal environment and the rest of the healthcare organization.
Horizon Perinatal Care provides a unique opportunity to include your labor and delivery information solution as part of your overall clinical information systems strategy.

Benefits of Integration

• Allows perinatal clinicians to access enterprise patient safety tools from within their workflow
• Provides a single user interface for surveillance, annotation, documentation, medication administration, clinical alerting and fetal alerting
• Removes silos from the surveillance and archival solution, allowing mother’s and/or baby’s information to flow with them should they transfer to a different unit
• Provides real-time remote access to the fetal tracing via a portal
• Allows the perinatal system to participate in interoperability initiatives through IHE certified Health Information Exchange (HIE)
• Provides access to the mother’s history from any previous encounter with the healthcare organization
• Significantly reduces duplicate documentation efforts between the enterprise clinical system and the perinatal clinical system
