The system tracks the mother and baby through pregnancy, delivery and the post-natal experience, recording all necessary data just once, with all required national data returns also captured automatically.  This avoids duplication of data entry, excessive form filling and dramatically reduces the amount of administration required by clinical staff.

The system is highly configurable and can be tailored to the requirements of the Trust and its best practice procedures.

Access to information without notes, in and out of hospital

The system can be operated from any networked location within the hospital, enabling users to capture and access patient information easily, without the need to rely on paper notes or on the mother having her notes with her.  In addition, the system can work in an off-line mode in the community, thereby ensuring the midwife has access to a complete record and can update the mother and baby’s notes. 

Synchronisation of data captured offline

Bluespier Maternity Manager is the only system that allows off-line data capture to be synchronised with the main database, dramatically reducing the time spent on overall administration.

This functionality gives midwives the flexibility to visit patients in the community, secure in the knowledge that they can update records quickly and simply from their laptops on to the main system when they return to the hospital network.

Quick and easy set up delivers immediate benefits

Setting up the system and customising it to reflect the processes and requirements of a Maternity Unit is  straightforward, ensuring work can start quickly after installation with all users enjoying immediate benefits.  These benefits include:

•    Access to complete and detailed clinical data throughout the mother and baby’s period of care, with the ability to quickly review the status of the pregnancy, all test results, scans, growth charts, variations from the norm and so on.

•    Increased speed in entering data into pregnancy, birth and post-natal notes and keeping these documents updated.

•    No duplication of data entry from one form to another as the required data is automatically transposed at each stage of the patient journey.

•    Ability to book scans and tests quickly and record results directly onto the system, speeding up the process and ensuring data is available at the right time to those who need it. This enhanced efficiency also delivers marked improvements in service to the mother.

•    Increased accuracy and timeliness in reporting on all clinical activity, which ensures accurate information for payment by results.

•    Virtually unlimited, detailed data for audit and research that can easily be interrogated using the in-built reporting tool.

Pre-loaded assessments guarantee ease of use and accuracy

Data is entered and updated via point and click onto pre-loaded assessments that present the user with questions and answer options, as well as the ability to free text.  These assessments are linked to specific stages of pregnancy, delivery, birth or post-natal care.  Selecting the required assessments is an intuitive process designed around the normal work routine.

Automatic coding and registry data capture

Coding is pre-loaded and linked to specific clinical terms, co-morbidities, appointment types and any other codeable item, providing instant and consistent information. The midwife or doctor need only focus on selecting the most appropriate clinical data and coding is generated automatically for both the clinical record and re-imbursement for payment by results. Codes can be ‘overridden’ and changed as appropriate.

Local and national datasets can be captured as part of the normal work routine within relevant assessments.  The datasets can then be automatically extracted and sent in either electronic or hard copy format to the registry.

Simple reporting puts users in control

An in-built report writing tool allows both clinical and administrative users to extract the data they need in the format they require.  Creating reports is a simple, straightforward process and can be exported to Word or Excel for further reporting or analysis.

Transparent costs

Bluespier offers fixed installation and implementation costs and provides ongoing maintenance, support, training and upgrades at a fixed fee.  This assists in budgeting and ensures there are no hidden ‘surprises’ to effectively implementing and running the system.
