Northwest Physicians Mutual Insurance Company Endorses eNATAL and Offers Professional Liability Insurance Discounts for its Use

Northwest Physicians Mutual Insurance Company (NPMIC), a professional liability/malpractice insurer owned and directed by its physician policyholders, has recently endorsed eNATAL for use by its policyholders who provide obstetric services. Further, NPMIC now offers discounts to policyholders who use eNATAL in their practices.

Dr. Louis Marzano, FACOG, who in his capacity as a Medical Advisor to NPMIC, recently reviewed the most popular paper prenatal record systems along with eNATAL. Dr. Marzano wrote in his report, "There are many obvious advantages of the eNATAL Record for patients, providers (physicians, midwives, nurses and office staff) and enterprises (hospitals, large groups, health networks and agencies). First and foremost it provides a tool for better patient care and increased patient safety. It also provides the most complete risk management sensitive prenatal record currently available. eNATAL is an excellent electronic prenatal care system based upon those that I have reviewed."

"I see no disadvantages to the system. Certainly there is always some discomfort to changes but the future of medical information is ‘electronic’. The advantages of eNATAL far outweigh any 'growing pains' one might encounter in converting. Remember this is a “low-tech” setup. All you need is one computer, a printer and an Internet connection."

Finally, Dr. Marzano concludes, "I highly endorse eNATAL to anyone providing obstetrical care."
