Documenting the Estimated Date of Delivery Panel

When you open the Gestational Age template, you can view the expanded Estimated Date of Delivery panel appears. Estimated Date of Delivery If a last menstrual period was entered on the Vital Signs template, that last menstrual period (LMP) must display in the LMP Date field. Note: This only happens if the intake staff goes from the Intake template to the Gestational Age template. If they open another template in between, it does not automatically fill the LMP on the Gestational Age template. Therefore, even if the intake staff is not editing any information on Gestational Age, the template must be opened after opening Intake to obtain the LMP from vital signs.

Gestational Age Template

The Gestational Age panel enables you to document the necessary information about gestational age so that it is possible to determine the Estimated Date of Delivery (EDD). Note: NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine calculates the EGA (Estimated Gestational Age) based on the LMP date provided in the Gestational Age template . The gestational age for each encounter recalculates automatically and fills in the appropriate templates. The system recalculates the gestational age after each encounter and fills in the appropriate template. Note: The OB Gestational Orders template is integrated in the NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine workflow. You can access the OB Gestational Orders template from Prenatal Detail > Order Labs > OBGYN Lab Master > Labs > Orders by Gestational Week. The lab results fills the Order Management template, OBGYN Lab Master template, or the Order Module. You can document the necessary information to estimate the Expected Delivery Date (EDD) on the Gestational Age template.
