Healthcare is always evolving, leaving behind outdated systems and adopting new solutions—especially when it comes to the unique demands of OB/GYN care. That’s because the intricate workflows of OB/GYN can be challenging without the right technological support.
Rather than adapting general healthcare solutions to fit OB/GYN workflows, purpose-built EHR systems have been designed with input from real experts in obstetrics and gynecology, offering tools and features specific to the needs of the specialty.
At Meditab, we have spent years working alongside OB/GYN practices to understand their unique challenges. Our IMS platform transforms these insights into practical solutions—from integrated pregnancy tracking to specialized documentation tools—all designed to enhance patient care and practice efficiency.
IMS Specialty Specific EHR Has You Covered
Why a Generic EHR Won’t Cut It
General EHRs lack the sophisticated tools required to capture complex details and manage specialty-specific workflows. While general EHR systems can handle basic medical documentation, they often lack the tools to support critical needs and systems. Here’s why an OB/GYN-specific EHR is essential:
1. Specialized Pregnancy Tracking
Managing prenatal care requires meticulous attention to multiple parameters throughout pregnancy. Unfortunately, many EHRs struggle to effectively track important aspects like fetal development, prenatal care solutions, genetic screening results, and risk assessments across numerous visits.
2. Complex Documentation Requirements
Each type of visit demands specific documentation approaches. For instance, a single prenatal visit might require the documentation of:
- Fetal heart rates
- Fundal heights
- Maternal weight change
- Various screening results
Many obstetrics and gynecology EHRs lack these specialized templates, forcing practitioners to adapt their workflows or maintain additional documentation systems.
3. Integrated Care Coordination
A specialized OB/GYN EHR seamlessly integrates various aspects of care from multiple providers. Users can efficiently organize and access laboratory results, ultrasound reports, and consultation from other specialists within the patient’s complete health record.
4. Enhanced Patient Safety Features
Since pregnancy care requires vigilant monitoring, OB/GYN-specific EHRs include built-in safety features like:
- Automated alerts for abnormal test results
- Medication contraindications during pregnancy
- Reminders for crucial screenings.
5. Streamlined Practice Operations
Beyond clinical documentation, OB/GYN practices have unique operational needs. Specialized EHRs offer features like:
- Automated gestational age calculations
- Integrated ACOG forms
- Customizable prenatal flowsheets
These tools save time and reduce the potential for human error in critical calculations and documentation.
