…OBIX allows our nurses state-of-the-art fetal monitoring…
“As the administrator of a rural hospital, I am always looking for ways to provide our nurses with tools that help them do their job. We looked at fetal monitoring systems for several months and made the decision to select the OBIX Perinatal Data System. OBIX allows our nurses state-of-the-art fetal monitoring, ability to document on the strips, and the staff-saving ability to monitor other patients while in one patient’s room. The ability for the doctors to receive the fetal monitoring data remotely has also been a huge success. In fact, one of our physicians uses his iPad to continuously monitor patients and has responded to clinical events before the nurses could even call him—a great level of reassurance for the nurses! And we are able to tell potential patients that we have a very high quality monitoring system to make sure their baby is as safe as can be during the delivery process.”
