What it is

Mother and newborn banded as a cryptographic pair at birth; every handover — nursery, procedure, discharge — verifies the pair by scan. A mismatch locks the handover and alerts, immediately and loudly. Kangaroo care logs each skin-to-skin session against the baby — who held them, how long, the temperature before and after as measured, and how the baby took it — with minutes today and since birth, read against the unit’s own daily target when it sets one.

How it works

Record a newborn against a charted birthUnder Live births charted on the partogram, press Record a newborn… for the delivery: sex, birth weight in grams, and the Apgar at 1 and 5 minutes if you have them. A newborn belongs to a delivery charted on the partogram, and the service refuses one that is not.
Band the babyChecks, then Band the baby… asks for the band identifier. The database refuses an identifier already in use in the unit and a second band on a baby already wearing one.
Verify at every handoverCheck — feed, Check — transfer, Check — procedure or Check — discharge: read the mother’s band and the baby’s band exactly as printed. The server decides whether they match; a mismatch is written down as it was read and opens a discrepancy in the same transaction.
Close discrepancies, then discharge through the gateOpen discrepancies sits at the top of the screen until each one is closed with Close with what happened… — the service refuses a close without the words. Discharge stays disabled until a discharge-time check has matched and no discrepancy is open, and the service checks both again in the one update that stamps the discharge. Birth card prints the card.
Log kangaroo careOn Kangaroo care, press a baby: Start a session now with who is holding the baby and the temperature before as measured, then End the session now with the temperature after and how the baby took it — stopped early needs the reason. A session already over is logged with its date and times. One session runs at a time, none overlaps another or sits in the future, and a baby gone home is closed. Minutes today and since birth are added up from the sessions; the unit’s daily target, with its source, is compared only once it is set.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not permit discharge of a baby whose final verification was skipped, whoever is carrying them.

Kangaroo care logs the session; a monitor or a nurse still watches the baby during it.
