The Acuity App assesses real time staffing based on the clinical needs of women and babies for intrapartum and ward areas. This enables service leaders to determine whether their unit is adequately and safely staffed throughout the day and night.
Intrapartum Acuity App
Using the Birthrate Plus® classification system the tool provides an assessment of women’s needs during their episode of care in the delivery suite and/or co-located birth centre, recorded in realtime on a 4 hourly basis and is being used to enable managers to ensure safety for women and babies during this period.
