The
collection of good perinatal data is a principal
aim of the Perinatal Institute, as it underlies the
study of the causes of adverse outcomes and the work
towards effective strategies for their prevention.
It is also essential for the provision of the most
cost-effective and efficient service. For this purpose,
we are developing MANNERS. The initiative is supported
by West Midlands Specialist Services Agency.
MANNERS
uses a core dataset based largely on data, which
has already been defined. Fine-tuning
is done through an iterative process of multidisciplinary
consultation and field-testing in maternal and neonatal
units. The Perinatal Institute’s IT unit programs
the software and updates and amends the data fields
as required. As the software runs on the central
server, all units use the most up to date version.
Our
standard Perinatal Dataset consists of the following
components:
- Maternity data
incl. information required for NHS Numbers for
Babies
- Neonatal data,
adapted from the BAPM dataset
- Antenatal
Screening data incl. recommendations of UK
National Screening Committee
- Paediatric High Dependency Care data, preliminary dataset in progress
