The Partogram is an MPages view within PowerChart Maternity (PCM) that allows clinicians to identify early deviations from the normal progress of active labor, as well as maternal physiological deterioration, to facilitate timely decisions about direct intervention or referral of care.
Clinicians need the ability to go back and review a snapshot of what the Partogram looked like during a patient’s labor.
Clinicians may need to review this historical partogram within a couple days or weeks of delivery or it could be several years later they would like to review when the patient comes back pregnant again.
The historical partogram may also be used in legal cases to represent and tell the story of the patient’s labor and interventions, so it is key that the historical partogram looks as it did for the patient on the day they delivered.
Uses
A patient comes back for Post-Partum visit.
A patient is pregnant 2nd or 3rd time
A patient has some need for Legal, the document is required in such cases.
Partogram needs to be printed just after the partogram stop is reached so as a patient could take home what happened during their pregnancy and the delivery story.
Product Team proposed a snapshot of the Partogram be taken at a specific point in time (Partogram Stop) and saved off as a document type. This document type should show the graphical and flowsheet information as it displayed to the clinician when the patient was in labor, and should not be interactive. For any relevant clinical information that is displayed in a side panel through user interaction on the live partogram, this information should be available supplementary to the graphs or flowsheets as needed. This can display next to or below each relevant graph.
