Are you ready to set the Benchmark in newborn safety?

Director of Maternity and Children’s services

Babywatch is the one and only infant identification system that provides hospitals and families with absolute peace of mind with regard to newborn safety through a fail-safe tracking and management system, saving valuable time and placing more care at bedside with the patient, and  always ensuring right mother – right baby – right care at all times.

Hospitals all over the world are faced with a major issue – how to reduce the errors which take place each and everyday, errors that are measured not only just in monetary value, but also the very real risk of harm to patients. The problem is already a sizeable one. Understaffed nursing levels are already blamed for nearly one fourth of unanticipated events in hospitals that result in death, injury or permanent loss of function.

How can today’s hospitals reduce errors when the current nursing shortage requires fewer nurses to cover more patients in less time? Babywatch  offers a innovative mobile solution to this, that places the necessary tools that health care need in the palm of their hands, tools that not only provide the double and triple checks necessary to dramatically reduce errors, but also significantly improve productivity by eliminating manual paper-pen based, error laden processes.

Despite huge advances in technology our newborn babies are no better protected from preventable identification errors. Mothers in maternity units are right to be concerned about whether their baby is receiving the right milk, medication, action or procedure. The manual identification process leaves much room for error. If mother, baby or milk is misidentified, for example, the wrong milk can be fed to the wrong baby. But with Babywatch milk management in place in your healthcare facility the tracking of the milk begins with expressing and ends with feeding.

The mobility of Babywatch replaces time-consuming error prone manual processes. The identification checks can be performed in seconds, providing peace of mind for both parents and hospital staff that the babies are receiving the right breast milk, medication, immunisation, blood test and provides a comprehensive real-time documented, user identified log of all actions, movements and procedures undertaken or performed on that infant. In this way, Babywatch reduces administrative paperwork to provide health staff with more time to better care for our most valuable asset.

Each and every health organisation is obligated to focus on quality, safety and effectiveness of their services in order to improve on performance and patient safety. Evaluation of services and managing risk is fundamental. Delivering a safe, appropriate clinical health service is a core purpose and focusing on clinical quality and safety improves on the health service and clinical outcome.

I look forward to speaking with you in person regarding how Babywatch can be trialled at your healthcare facility and for your Hospital to lead the way and set the benchmark in the safety of your newborns.

With thanks
