PeriWatch Vigilance®

Given the demands on L&D clinicians, and our geographically-dispersed locations, we recognized the value of implementing a virtual ‘second set of eyes’ to actively monitor maternal and fetal conditions and, in turn, help improve clinical outcomes and reduce unexpected NICU admissions. Being able to visualize the trends in the fetal heart rate patterns, maternal vital signs, and the progression of labor assists the nurse working in the OB Hub in determining if there is a strip that warrants a more focused look at the bedside.

“We strive to deliver optimal patient safety for every mother and baby in our care by giving our childbirth team the most advanced tools available for assessing fetal heart rate and labor progress, while making it easier for caregivers to maintain the patient record. Following a seamless implementation, PeriGen gives us real-time information that will help our care team make the most informed decisions possible.”

“The skilled physicians and nurses who deliver care in our affiliated hospitals have a longstanding commitment to patient safety and understand that technology can play an important role in supporting clinical decisions and care delivery. Childbirth is never routine. It’s an important, emotional, and personal experience for every family, and fortunately, most deliveries go very well. By taking patient safety to the next level in the labor and delivery process, our hospitals hope to prevent avoidable complications and provide more support for complex deliveries.”
