The eNATAL Community Prenatal Care Package
eNATAL, LLC has created a package of professional services designed to meet the needs and budgets of an entire community of obstetric care providers. With this package a community can implement a centralized prenatal record system within just weeks and start realizing the benefits for hospitals, practices, and patients almost immediately.

Before and after a community prenatal record

If you think the "Before" picture is ugly - just imagine a similar picture that includes practices with several locations and where patients can choose between more than one hospital or birth center!

"Before"
Before eNATAL, practices in a community had to devote hours and hours to copy or fax prenatal records to the hospital or to answer phone calls from L&D. And even with their "dumb" prenatal record systems, whether paper or electronic, providers could not be always sure that they did not overlook something in their care.

Before eNATAL, hospitals and birth centers were deluged with assortments of forms or electronic systems that all had to be touched, filed, searched, and because information was frequently missing, staff had to make countless calls to offices looking for that information.

Before eNATAL, when clinical care standards change or new tests become available, entire communities had to wait until publishers revised their paper or electronic forms - often waiting years for revised, up-to-date forms to be used in practice.

And "After"
After eNATAL, practices in a community never have to make copies of or send faxes of prenatal records again. With eNATAL's clinical decision support, providers are more confident that all pertinent obstetric risks were identified and that their care was delivered as they intended. The cost savings are incalculable if just one bad outcome is prevented.

After eNATAL, retrieving information at hospitals and birth centers is effortless. The latest prenatal information for any patient, at any gestational age, is at L&D's fingertips. No more searching through file cabinets, no more calls to offices, no more taking care of patients without information. And, L&D staff only have to learn one system to instantly access information instead of dozens.

After eNATAL, your community-based prenatal record is flexible and can be literally updated across the entire community within minutes once the community arrives at their update decisions.

Who Should Pay for a Community-Based Prenatal Care System?
The care and outcome of every pregnant patient in a community is a shared responsibility between providers in each practice and providers at the hospital. Other interested parties are payors (e.g. insurance companies, state and federal governments) and professional liability insurers. All of these stakeholders realize substantial cost savings from a community-wide introduction of eNATAL and should share in the initial and subsequent investment in a community-based prenatal care system.

The eNATAL Community Care package divides the service costs of eNATAL among both practices and healthcare alliances or organizations. All parties pay "fair market value" for their share of eNATAL services.

Shared "Autonomy"
Even though all parties share in the care of pregnant patients and there is a common prenatal record, there must also be a sensitivity to the autonomy of individual practices. With eNATAL Community Care, individual practices completely control the access to their patients' records, and each practice can develop their own care plans for both routine and Risk-Activated™ care.
