Maternity software: antenatal care, labour, delivery and postnatal follow-up

One pregnancy episode from the first visit to the postnatal check, with alerts that reach the clinician and a delivery record tied to each newborn.

Why it matters

A pregnancy runs for months across many visits and several teams. The risks that matter, such as raised blood pressure, protein in the urine or a change in fetal heart rate, are easy to miss when each visit is a separate note.

The Ventrecs maternity module follows the pregnancy as one episode. Each antenatal visit is checked against alert thresholds, labour is recorded with a partograph advisory, and the delivery and postnatal care stay linked to the same episode.

What it does

The maternity pathway, record by record

Pregnancy episode

The episode holds what every later visit refers to.

  • Last menstrual period, expected delivery date and GPAL
  • Risk stratification recorded on the episode
  • Linked to the patient's history, allergies and orders

Antenatal visits

Each visit is checked as it is entered.

  • Alerts for hypertension, proteinuria, fetal heart rate, fundal height and danger symptoms
  • Urgent alerts create an activity for the user
  • Results from the laboratory and imaging on the same chart

Labour and delivery

Observations are recorded in the sequence they happen.

  • Labour observations with a partograph advisory alert
  • A delivery record with a postpartum haemorrhage threshold by mode of delivery
  • Newborn records created and linked from the delivery

Postnatal care

Follow-up covers the mother and the baby.

  • Postnatal visits with fever, lochia and depression-screen checks
  • Newborn growth and immunisation in the paediatrics module
  • Signed discharge summary from the documents module

Built-in safeguards

Urgent alerts become tasksAn urgent antenatal alert creates an activity for the responsible user, so it does not depend on someone noticing a value.
Thresholds are reviewed by clinical governanceAlert thresholds are held as reviewed constants. Your clinical governance team reviews and approves them before use.
A delivery waits for its newborn recordsA delivery cannot be finalised until every linked newborn record is finalised.
The partograph is advisoryThe partograph alert supports the midwife or obstetrician. It does not replace their assessment.

Questions we are asked

Does it support the whole pathway?

It covers the pregnancy episode, antenatal visits, labour observations, the delivery record and postnatal visits. Each stage links to the same episode and to the newborn record.

Who approves the alert thresholds?

Your clinical governance team. The thresholds are reviewed before go-live, and changes are made as a recorded configuration change.

Is the newborn record separate?

The newborn has its own record in the paediatrics module, linked to the delivery. It carries APGAR, gestation and birth-weight categories.

Can an obstetric unit use it with the bed board?

Yes. Maternity wards appear on the same live bed board as the rest of the hospital.
