The new UDS is a web-based system - which means it can be used from any device (computer, PDA, etc.) with an Internet connection (and yes - it works with dial-up). The data is stored on a secured, password protected site.
The UDS is not limited to birth centers and midwives. It is designed to collect data on home, birth center and hospital births. It also collects data on all types of birth providers: CNMs, CPMs, Family Physicians, Obstetricians, and more.
The following preprogrammed reports are part of the UDS:
Create a comprehensive outcome and utilization report for your practice filtered by birth sites and dates
Create the report required by the CABC for birth center accreditation
Provide outcome and utilization data for completing the ACNM Benchmarking Report
Create and print a monthly list of clients who are due.
With your data in the UDS, you can create/update your delivery log in minutes. Meets the CABC criteria for a delivery log.
Run customized queries and reports on your data.
Helps you keep track of your data entry. Provides a report of clients with forms needing completion.
Select to export data from forms to a CSV file so that it can be imported to programs like SPSS, Access and Excel.
Once a record is approved this data is available not only to the individual birth center but also to AABC for analysis. AABC has immediate access to your data. We can respond to queries and challenges with timely data from birth centers, as well as publish data on a regular and consistent basis. This will be enormously helpful as AABC works on legislative levels for birth centers and midwives.
Be a part of this groundbreaking study.
We have designed the UDS to be HIPAA compliant. AABC cannot view identifying information of your clients.
All data that is entered prospectively is marked prospective for analysis purpose. You may also enter data retrospectively.
