Technical details for Heart Safe Motherhood Integration

 

Integration setup for Heart Safe Motherhood

These are the integration features we recommend as the core integrations for Heart Safe Motherhood:

  • Way to Health Embedded View

    • Enrolling patients

    • Monitoring patients (seeing BP data, messaging the patients directly)

  • Inbound Flowsheet data

    • Storing patient-entered blood pressures in the medical record to be graphed and otherwise viewed by clinicians

  • In Basket

    • Alerting clinicians of patients with high blood pressures needing their attention

  • Smart Data Element (optional)

    • Documenting program participation and status - useful for reporting

    • Epic can also be configured to show an icon on the Story Board if a patient is enrolled in Heart Safe Motherhood or another texting program
