EXPECTANT parents will be able to view their maternity notes online thanks to a new system. Dorset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is replacing paper maternity notes at Dorset County Hospital (DCH) with online notes by using BadgerNet Maternity, an electronic maternity healthcare record system which allows real-time recording of all events wherever they occur - in hospital, the community or at home. Based on a woman-centred care model, the system comes with a portal for women to view and access their own maternity records online. A spokesman for Maternity Matters Dorset said: Badger Notes will be replacing our handheld notes. There are a number of benefits to using Badger Notes over paper notes, and these include: information can be shared with your directly from the maternity system, records can be easily updated at each maternity visit or appointment, and midwives do not have to double enter data onto paper handheld notes.
