Hi Suzanne, glad you were able to build new charts! We are still on an older version and can’t update our Fenton’s. Our nurses looked at WHO charts and expressed the same concern. It is very difficult to use them for newborns. Our doctors are still reviewing the tools. I personally advocate for Intergrowth-21. And the calculation tool is really great. I am putting in a product feature request with GE. Will update on the progress.
Hi Suzanne, thanks for the reply.
Are you using the 2003 version? Not 2013? The 2013 chart can be build in GE CPN but it needs to be 6.96 SP2 at least. There is an infobyte on this. Unfortunately, Fenton chart cannot be used for term babies. GE has a licensing agreement with the author that it would be used as intended, i.e. for preterm babies only.
I found Intergrowth 21 initiative and one of their calculators
We are having Pediatric Committee soon, so hopefully they will look into this…
Lori, we had the same issue in the past. Then we got help from GE to set up/enable PtD jobs so our delivered charts get archived promptly. Someone should be reviewing folders and investigate why charts did not archive.
Btw, I would also like to know if there is a way to introduce account numbers in GE CPN. We do it manually for NST patients only for billing purposes.
