eStar update: Removal of pending COVID-19 Best Practice Advisory alert from babies' charts

As of July 8, the Best Practice Advisory (BPA) alert will no longer appear in every baby’s chart for mothers who have a pending COVID-19 result. This change is due to universal masking and other precautionary infection prevention measures that have diluted the need for an alert

Additionally, L&D Greaseboard and OB/Newborn Storyboard will also not display pending results. Positive COVID-19 responses will continue to display.

Please refer to the Tip Sheet “Obstetrics Inpatient: COVID Result Column and Newborn Associated BPA” (available in Hubbl) for more information.
