Digital Innovation in Neonatal Care: How Real-Time Data is Transforming Patient Safety at MKUH
In the high-stakes environment of neonatal care, rapid access to accurate patient data isn’t just convenient—it’s critical. Milton Keynes University Hospital (MKUH) has pioneered a digital solution that’s revolutionising how we monitor and manage newborn jaundice, setting new standards for patient safety in neonatal care.
Transforming Critical Care Through Digital Innovation
The integration of our hyperbilirubinaemia solution with Electronic Patient Records (EPR) has fundamentally changed how we deliver care to our youngest patients. With 6,800 interactions recorded in just six months, the impact has been profound and far-reaching.
Measurable Impact on Patient Safety
Our digital transformation has delivered significant improvements across several crucial areas:
Enhanced Data Accuracy and Accessibility
- Real-time logging of all bilirubin tests
- Instant access to patient charts from any hospital location
- Elimination of manual transcription errors
- Seamless integration with existing EPR systems
Supporting Premature Baby Care
The solution has proven particularly valuable for our most vulnerable patients:
- 45% of cases involve babies born before 37 weeks gestation
- Improved monitoring capabilities for high-risk infants
- Enhanced ability to spot trends and intervene early
- Better coordination between neonatal and maternity teams
Real-World Impact
“We’re not only enhancing patient safety but also freeing up valuable clinical hours for patient care,” notes Craig York, Chief Information Officer at MKUH. This dual benefit—improving safety while increasing efficiency—represents a significant advancement in neonatal care delivery.
Beyond Traditional Monitoring
The system’s success goes beyond basic data collection:
- Enables proactive care planning
- Supports evidence-based decision making
- Facilitates better communication between care teams
- Provides comprehensive audit trails
Setting New Standards in Neonatal Care
With 6,800 interactions in just six months, the system has become an integral part of our neonatal care delivery. This high level of engagement demonstrates both its utility and its importance in modern healthcare delivery.
