EFM is an electronic fetal monitoring instructional application utilizing the National Child Health and Human Development (NCHHD) algorithm and nomenclature. This application is intended for instructional purposes only and is not intended to be a replacement for clinical judgment. Evaluation of the effectiveness and acceptability of this application to learners is ongoing. If interested in possible collaborative projects utilizing this application please contact the developer. Future versions plan to include capability to save previous data and basic demographics and additional instructional materials.

The ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations for managing abnormal cervical cancer screening results and cancer precursors, including post-colposcopy and post-treatment scenarios. ASCCP is pleased to offer this app to streamline navigation of the ASCCP Risk-Based Management Consensus Guidelines for abnormal cervical cancer screening tests and cancer precursors. The guidelines articles, as published in the Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease, as well as the comprehensive risk estimates, can be accessed through https://www.asccp.org/guidelines. These evidence-based management guidelines, initially developed in 2019, came together through a consensus process of 19 organizations. The updated management guidelines aim to: • Allow for a more complete and precise estimation of risk • Provide more appropriate intervention for high-risk individuals (detect and treat more precancer) • Recommend less intervention for low-risk individuals (decrease testing and treatment that won’t prevent cancer and may cause reproductive harm) • Allow for the future addition of new risk modifiers and screening and management technologies See https://www.asccp.org/UserGuide for tips on using the app.
