Our maternity service uses an electronic Maternity Notes system called ‘My Pregnancy Notes’.
Our midwives will create a Maternity Electronic Patient Record (EPR) for you from the moment you present for maternity care through pregnancy, birth or the postnatal period.
It only applies to the maternity service, which is from your first point of contact with one of our midwives through to when you are discharged from the care of your midwife to a health visitor.
There are a number of benefits to using ‘My Pregnancy Notes’ rather than patient notes, including:
- Make appointments easier to view
- Reduce paper-based notes
- Create tailored notes to each pregnancy
- Provide 24/7 access to pregnancy information
- Provide information specifically related to care pathways
- Utilise support from midwives by limiting time spent completing paper referrals
