FetaLink+ vs First Trimester Bleeding

With FetaLink+, surveillance information that is available at the bedside can be accessed from any location through an iOS mobile device with either cellular or WiFi connectivity, driving efficiency at the point of care. Application functionality: • Provides comprehensive patient list • Displays most recent key obstetrical data, including ruptured membrane, gravida para, and cervical exam • Displays both fetal and maternal monitoring waveform data • Allows Providers to review all monitoring data from the current episode • Fetal tracing can be viewed when user is in the annotation summary view • Ability to view both clinician and device annotations at relevant times on the strip • Ability to view Medication and IV administration annotations on the strip • Ability to view annotations made by the bedside clinician • Ability to view maternal vital signs captured from the fetal monitor FetaLink+ is a diagnostic aid that does not replace the clinician’s judgment concerning interpretation of data or appropriate treatment. FetaLink+ requires that the care organization license and operate infrastructure for use. Please contact your corporate IT or Cerner representative for details or inquiry.

The First Trimester Bleeding app is for CLINICIANS (not the lay public). It helps a clinician move through the complex evaluation protocols for women early in pregnancy suffering bleeding and pain. The app also reviews guidance on management of early pregnancy loss and ectopic pregnancy. The app answers questions such as: - what information and investigations do I need for a woman with early pregnancy bleeding? - how do I distinguish pregnancies which are viable, non-viable, and of uncertain viability? - what do I do if no pregnancy can be found inside or outside the uterus on ultrasonography (Pregn Unknown Location)? - when do I need serial ß-hCG's and when do I need serial sonograms? - for early pregnancy loss, what are my treatment options? - how do I use Misoprostol for a woman electing medical management of incomplete SAB? All information is based upon guidance in the medical literature and expert medical authorities. A great deal of materials are shared and adapted with permission from the Reproductive Health Access Project (thanks!). The app offers several direct external links to their materials for more information. The app is intended for family physicians, obstetricians, midwives, ER and urgent care personnel, and trainees like residents and medical students, and anyone involved in the care of early pregnancy. As educators and clinicians, we are interested in feedback and would be grateful for guidance on improving the tool.
