Maternal and Neonatal Electronic Recording System


 
Number 7 - October 2003
 
     
  • We have now completed the Perinatal Data Index. This is a list of all data items within the MANNERS dataset (currently n= 305), arranged chronologically and with an explanation of the origin of the data item. All data items have been approved by their respective maternal and neonatal Professional Advisory Groups and have been field tested in our MANNERS trial sites.
 
  • The pilot of the new web-based system for collecting care categories from neonatal units is now underway. This system will provide important information to commissioners and individual neonatal units regarding the workload during any given period. Phase 2 of the development will contain the staffing component for each shift to provide a more complete overview of the workload. For more information please contact Nicola Beamish.
 
  • MANNERS Neonatal has now completed the parent information booklet, which is due to be piloted next month. Following the regional consultation, the booklet was submitted to the Plain English Campaign to ensure clarity for the reader. Parental feedback will be published early next year.
 
  • The Good Practice Guide has now been developed to assist users within all maternity and neonatal units. The MANNERS team are committed to supporting and encouraging their users to follow the NHS IM&T Security Manual guidelines for IT users within the NHS.
