North Memorial’s clinical practice committee analyzed data to determine which patients were at “high-risk” of hemorrhaging. The committee found that high-risk pregnancy didn’t always equate to hemorrhaging.
The committee then created a screening tool within Epic’s EHR system that would calculate a patient’s risk based on:
- What type of birth it is: vaginal or C-sections, as C-sections have higher rates of hemorrhaging.
- Where the placenta is: Placenta previa, or low-lying placenta, increases hemorrhage risk.
- Hemoglobin measurements, or a low hematocrit measurement.
- Any pre-existing conditions such as obesity or a bleeding disorder.
North Memorial also used Epic to create a quantitative blood loss calculator to improve response time for hemorrhages.
