The GAP team are preparing to launch GROW 2.0 in 2023 to all NZ users, either as a standalone system or integrated with electronic records.
Based on international experience gained with the current GROW applications, we have developed a substantially upgraded web-based system which puts fetal growth surveillance at the centre of the mother’s care pathway during pregnancy.
This is achieved by an enhanced dataset and functionality, the key elements of which include-
1. Recording, identifying and highlighting risk factors from early in pregnancy, and facilitating their regular review and formulation of action plans according to evidence based guidelines.
2. Auto-plotting fetal measurements and displaying their results against the pre-defined, customised growth standard generated for the individual pregnancy, with prompts for clinicians to review their management if the fetus’ growth deviates from the expected.
3. Off-line functionality to allow clinicians to continue working during times of poor signal, allowing the visual of the most up to date chart.
4. A mother’s app in a read only format with accompanying information and advice, to ensure that mothers have access to their chart and are informed of the care they are receiving.
5. The comprehensive information recorded during pregnancy will be stored and will facilitate audit and evaluation of the care provided.
