Lakeside Adds Newest Technology to Improve OB Patient Satety and Communication for Physicians

Lakeside Women’s Hospital has acquired and implemented an innovative patient monitoring solution that allows obstetricians to keep a closer eye on their labor and delivery patients than ever before,

AirStrip OB™ delivers vital patient waveform data - including fetal heart rate and maternal contraction patterns – in virtual real-time directly from the hospital labor and delivery unit to a doctor’s smart phone from anywhere the doctor gets a cell-phone connection. Additional patient data is also accessible, including nursing notes, vital signs and order results.

AirStrip OB works with the iPhone™, BlackBerry® and a variety of Windows Mobile® devices.

AirStrip OB is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is compliant with federal patient privacy regulations.

“The comfort, safety and security of our patients is of paramount concern at Lakeside Women’s Hospital, and AirStrip OB offers an added layer of protection,” said Andrea Palmer, M.D. an AirStrip OB user and OB/GYN at Lakeside.“No matter the demands of the day or my location, I can closely watch my patients in labor and be in a position to react immediately to a change in situation. That will contribute to improved patient care.”

Rebecca Smith, who was in labor this week, noted that peace of mind meant a lot to her.
“I already am 100-percent confident in my doctor, but I’m certainly glad she has what she needs to be even better at her job,” Rebecca said. “I knew she was watching out for me, even though she couldn’t be at my bedside at all times.”
