Quality, safety and your
pregnancy experience
Ombudu:Prenatal�
is committed to advocating for the safest possible pregnancy
experience for its users. The foundation of this quality
experience begins with optimal communication between the patient
and the healthcare provider. This communication must have at
hand the patient's medical history and previous examination
findings in order to carryout the most thorough assessment.
It is the promise of Ombudu:Prenatal©
to provide this information.
Shared Decision Making
Ombudu:Prenatal©
is a tool to help record, store and retrieve pregnancy
information and promote shared decision making. Families achieve optimally healthy maternal and newborn outcomes when their care and resources are provided in an atmosphere of open (transparent), effective healthcare-provider communications,a shared decision-making process between and among families,
clinicians and nurses (teamwork), evidenced / experiential based
practices -all occurring within a milieu of consistent and
compassionate care.
Ombudu:Prenatal©
enhances partnership-in-care between you and your provider by
enabling
you to actively engage your provider within a time-frame
necessary to fully discuss the elements of each prenatal visit
such as
your history, visit examination and laboratory / ultrasound
findings, and
then permit you to personally enter the pertinent information into
the Ombudu:Prenatal©
personal health record at the time and place of your point of
care .
Thus You, the
Ombudu:Prenatal©
user will actively participate in your prenatal visit and
share in the
retrieval, reviewing, and recording of your information. This
should
promote a better understanding of the condition of your pregnancy
health.
We at Ombudu:Prenatal©
believe
that everyone should have access to contemporary
healthcare services and support. Prenatal care,
labor
and delivery care, neonatal care and when needed, bereavement
support and understanding is a paradigm for safe,
compassionate,
patient-focused health care. When unexpected outcomes do occur
and / or
technology fails to achieve its intended purpose, there must
be
avenues to foster understanding, administer compassion and
promise
hope. This is the human dimension of healthcare; this is
the
soul of Ombudu:Prenatal©
