Babywatch™An Infant Identification, baby management system, has been designed and developed by combining many years of midwifery experience with the technical expertise of CMO Global, the world’s leading compliance management software company. In the past 20 years, despite advances in technology and quality management in hospitals across the world, the sad truth is that our newborn babies are no better protected from preventable identification errors. Over the last 5 years, the incidence of wrongly identified newborn infants has increased dramatically. Not only is this an emotional issue for parents and staff, but is also an immense risk for hospitals.Natasha Oglesby BN, MMid

What is BabyWatch?
Babywatch™ is the one and only infant identification, baby management system that provides hospitals and families with absolute peace of mind with regard to infant identification through a fail-safe baby tracking system.
Babywatch™ is a wristband barcode system which works in conjunction with mobile handheld PDA scanners which together track, verify, monitor and log all actions and procedures involving newborns during their stay in hospital: from BIRTH to DISCHARGE or TRANSFER to another hospital. Positive patient identification provides the foundation for patient safety through the systematic prevention of human errors.
Babywatch™ enables caregivers to positively identify the infant when removed or returned to the mother and connect anything collected from, administered to or performed on that Infant. Not only does the baby management system log that this action has occurred, consequently charting the information, but Babywatch™ also eliminates all possibility of human error in the infant identification process when completing such actions on the baby. Through a unique dual checking system, Babywatch™ baby management system acts as a ‘second pair of eyes’, ensuring that the correct baby is in fact with the right mother, or the right baby is drinking the right expressed breast milk for example, thus totally eradicating infant identification errors. |
| In this way the baby management solution provides an innovative system that enables hospitals to monitor, evaluate and improve on its current procedures, systems and quality management whilst also addressing the real risk of infant identification errors, and providing exceptional and unique benefits for parents, staff and hospitals.The baby tracking logs the treatment of infants, reducing the workload of nurses and midwives enabling focus on care and creating confidence in the patient. |
