Logging a birth
A birth is a recorded birth event for one of your patients. Each birth can include one or more babies.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”Make sure the patient already exists. You’ll attach the birth to their record.
Record a birth
Section titled “Record a birth”- Open the patient from the Patients list, or go to Births in the sidebar.
- Choose Log birth (or Add birth).
- Select the patient if you aren’t already on their record.
- Enter the birth detail — date and time, setting, and the clinical fields your practice tracks.
- Add the baby (or babies for a multiple birth). You can record more than one baby on the same birth.
- Save.
Editing a birth
Section titled “Editing a birth”Open the birth from the patient’s record or the Births list and choose Edit. Corrections are saved to the record and flow through to your practice analytics.
Multiples
Section titled “Multiples”For twins or higher-order multiples, add each baby to the same birth rather than creating separate births. This keeps the birth event accurate and your counts correct.
