Labor and Delivery Systems: Functional Strengths, Weaknesses and Depth of Integration

Steve Van Wagenen, KLAS Research Director, Orem, UT, reports on the 2008 KLAS Labor and Delivery study. One hundred and forty participating organizations and individual hospitals address such questions as: How well are L&D vendors meeting provider expectations? What are the surprising benefits and challenges of current L&D surveillance, charting and archiving systems? What is missing? How well are current systems integrated with clinical documentation systems? What do you need to watch out for as you look at purchasing a new system?
