Enhanced communication, documentation, and workflow in the Nursery.
By expanding the information available in the Nursery, Centricity® Perinatal helps improve communication
among caregivers and streamline workflow. Centricity Perinatal captures comprehensive patient data and
makes it available when and where it is needed to support efficient and effective care of newborns.

2. Getting off to the right start.
Centricity Perinatal helps provide the information
necessary to ensure newborns get off to the best
start possible.
From making delivery information available immediately to
capturing critical clinical data to creating discharge summary
and instruction sheets, Centricity Perinatal helps caregivers
provide better care in the Nursery. By putting more information
at caregiver’s fingertips, Centricity Perinatal helps to increase
direct care time. In supporting connectivity to enterprise
healthcare IT solutions, Centricity Perinatal becomes part
of the larger, integrated electronic health record for both
mom and baby.
Mother-Baby Link
Upon arrival in the Nursery, the information necessary
to initiate proper care for the newborn is readily available.
No more tracking down information from clinicians to
complete the infant record. Nursery Admission – MotherBaby Link
The Mother-Baby Link allows critical maternal history and
delivery data to flow directly to the infant record. Maternal
charts and respective infant charts remain separate medical
records, but share relevant information. Data can also be
entered manually and updated as necessary.
Interfacing
Inbound/ADT, Lab, and Outbound HL7 interfaces provide
seamless connectivity to other enterprise IT systems to
foster interoperability and data sharing. This makes
relevant information available to the teams who need
it, while providing one location for documentation supporting
the perinatal continuum of care.
Efficient Documentation
Nursery SBAR
Documentation is efficient and reduces redundant charting
that can lead to transcription errors and discrepancies in
patient data. Centricity Perinatal supports the flow of
information with one-time data entry. Combined data

3. review and data entry screens allow providers to document
physical exams and narrative notes, while viewing relevant
documentation from nursing, all in a single screen.
Using the Forms Copy feature, pediatricians can copy
and edit daily progress notes and physical exams with
a single click.
The Infant Discharge Summary is updated following delivery
of the infant to help ensure information is available and is
complete prior to infant discharge.
Pediatrician and Nursery Views
A variety of view options allow users to quickly navigate to
the information they need. Enhanced forms and easy access
to information pertinent to the Nursery help to improve Nursery Discharge Form
interdisciplinary care team communication. The delivery
attendance form allows pediatricians to view details of the
time of delivery, including the team members present and
any other necessary interventions. Comprehensive lactation
forms help support the needs of disciplines frequently
involved in the care of mom and baby. Other forms including
ones for circumcision and pain help standardize common
procedure documentation in the Nursery.
Alerts & Reminders
Integrated Alerts & Reminders notify clinicians of outstanding
tests to be completed or out-of-range parameters. This
function provides sites with a toolset for defining their
clinical policies and procedures.
Compliance Lactation Consult Assessment Form
Centricity Perinatal helps with regulatory requirement
compliance established by the industry and care protocols
established by your facility.
