Think outside of the box

While i'm not familiar with your computer charting I will tell you what we do at my facility. We use OB tracevue and we print out a baby H&P that has all the mother's pertinent information, like blood type, hep B status, HIV, Chlamydia etc etc results. There is also a place on there for apgar scores and a place for a delivery note. The NICU team has a form they bring, with all of the information in checkbox form so as to speed up their charting. They check boxes for type of rescucitation used, apgar scores etc. And they have a place to add a delivery narrative as well. When NICU comes to our deliveries, they are there for the initial apgars and leave when the baby is stable. Their charting is swift and doesn't seem to slow them up at all. The NICU charge nurse is the one who comes along with an RT, and doctor or NP if needed. The charge nurse generally doesn't have an assignment, but of course that often isn't the case. Oh and also, the NICU does not give the Vitamin K and Erythromycin. The OB baby nurse or labor nurse is responsible for those. Good luck.
