Obstetric Care That Is Safer and More Efficient

Medical errors on Labor & Delivery Units are driven by:

Lack of situational awareness
Failure to manage patients in accordance with evidence-based best practices

Our software is designed to tackle both.

riskLD Makes Obstetric Guidelines More Accessible

riskLD provides a proprietary Graphical User Interface that:

Improves Situational Awareness

Unit-Level View

Provides Alerts
Facilitates allocation of resources by unit leadership
Enables remote monitoring of labor floors at outlying/community hospitals

Patient-Level View

Continuously monitors maternal and fetal parameters
Diagnoses high-risk conditions
Generates alerts for the clinical team
Provides evidence-based decision support in the form of management checklists

Ensures Best Practices

Alerts to medical comorbidities and high-risk situations
Clinical decision support is based on a set of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) developed at the
University Hospitals System, Cleveland, Ohio
CPGs shown to reduce Serious Safety Events 92% across UH system over 10 years
93% reduction in obstetric litigation costs for the health system:

Serious Safety Events (Maternal + Neonatal) Over 10 Years

Obstetric Malpractice Litigation Cost Reduction Over 10 Years

Creates Shared Mental Models Across Disciplines

Improves handoffs of care among nurses and physicians
Enables quick assessment of acuity of patients on labor & delivery
Allows staff to convene and create care plans

In summary, the riskLD system takes a large base of actionable knowledge and advances it by consolidating real-time monitoring, intelligent diagnosis matching, alerting, and instantaneous checklists to provide an assistant that is there for the clinical team around the clock. This application improves the communication among providers and helps prevent medical errors and adverse outcomes.
