Electronic Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring: Definitions, Interpretation, and Management

Newly Revised!
• Updated with the latest evidence-based practice:
Two central principles of intrapartum fetal heart rate interpretation
• Simplified user format
• Improved assessment with pre- and post- tests
• Formatted for use on mobile devices

An interactive educational program created by nationally-recognized fetal monitoring experts David A. Miller, MD and Frank C. Miller, MD, in conjunction with GE Healthcare.

Overview

The Electronic Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring program introduces a comprehensive, systematic, evidence-based approach to standardized intrapartum fetal heart rate interpretation and management that reflects consensus in the medical literature, is practical, and teachable.

Unlike other fetal heart rate monitoring education programs, this course moves past the definitions into how to interpret and manage the information being received—and how to use that information to help make critical clinical decisions.

By the end of this course, you should be able to articulate a comprehensive, thoughtful, reasonable fetal heart rate management plan, and provide information regarding fetal heart rate monitoring to your patients and peers that is consistent and factually accurate.

This Electronic Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring course is designed to help:

Optimize outcomes for mother and baby by teaching standardized, evidence-based practices.
Manage risks through improved interdisciplinary communication, collaboration, and management.
Give you flexibility to access the program from any computer with an Internet connection, so that courses are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Provide access to documentation, enabling your facility to show staff education of fetal monitoring to help meet patient safety standards set by The Joint Commission and other accrediting groups.

Modules

Course Modules

The Electronic Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring course consists of four modules with animation and interactive exercises that engage clinicians to learn and apply knowledge into practice situations.

Module 1 - Definitions (“What do I call it?”)
Focuses on the standardized NICHD definitions and categories of intrapartum fetal heart rate patterns endorsed by ACOG, AWHONN, and ACNM.

Module 2 - Interpretation (“What does it mean?”)
Distills electronic fetal monitoring into three central, practical principles of consistent, standardized interpretation.

Module 3 - Management (“What do I do about it?”)
Presents a simplified approach to intrapartum fetal heart rate management that gives clinicians a framework to articulate and formulate a management plan that is consistent, evidence-based, and factually accurate.

Module 4 - Clinical Case Study
Provides an interactive case study that brings together all of the concepts introduced in Modules 1 through 3, enabling clinicians to apply and reinforce the course content in an actual clinical scenario.

Target Audience

The program is designed for Physicians, Midwives, Nurses, Fellows, Residents and students specializing in Obstetrics. The program reinforces standard terminology, and can facilitate communication, for enhanced patient outcomes.
