BadgerNet Now Connected to Yorkshire Humber Shared Care Record

Interweave are delighted to announce that BadgerNet are now connected to Yorkshire Humber Shared Care Record and will be providing data to feed into the care records.

BadgerNet, is a fully paperless early pregnancy and maternity system which follows the whole course of a woman’s care and pregnancy, including all those involved in her care.

Adding this data into the shared care record is vitally important for pregnant and new parents. Pregnancy can be just one medical need of a patient and being able to see the full picture including history and current notes provides all caregivers with the necessary tools they need to care for a patient. Access to this data will be particularly important for GPs, safeguarding teams and the Yorkshire & Humber Maternal Medicine Network.

This is not only critical information for midwives who see pregnant women through the course of their pregnancy and need to understand any other medical history of a patient. It is also important information that is fed into the shared care records from those appointments, which can be accessed should the patient need any additional healthcare from another provider.

Becky Case, Local Maternity and Neonatal System Programme Lead at Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership, said, “We are delighted that other members of the wider healthcare system will now be able to use perinatal records to improve the safety, quality and experience of maternity care for our service users. The LMNS continue to work to ensure that all service users can access the BadgerNet system; ensuring availability in different languages and supporting digital inclusion for all of our communities.”

Lee Rickles, Chief Information Officer at Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust said, “Introducing BadgerNet has been a key point in our diversification of the data available through Interweave. By integrating maternity data into the Yorkshire and Humber Shared Care Record, we empower clinicians to offer more personalised, informed support to expectant mothers, ultimately enhancing the safety and wellbeing of both mother and baby.”
