Maintaining Industry Awareness
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
An independent panel convened by the National Institutes of Health has concluded
that despite potential advantages of adopting a new diagnostic approach for gesta-
tional diabetes mellitus (GDM), more evidence is needed to ensure that the benefits
outweigh the harms. The panel recommended following the current diagnostic
approach until further studies are conducted.
“The panel believes that cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness, and cost-utility research is
needed to more fully understand the implications of changing diagnostic protocols for
GDM,” said Dr. Peter VanDorsten, conference panel chairperson and Lawrence L.
Hester, Jr. Professor, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston.

Community Awareness
Trisomy Awareness Month
The word “trisomy” comes from “tri,” the Greek word for “three.” Normally, humans
have 46 chromosomes in each cell, divided into 23 pairs. Trisomy occurs when a third
copy of a specific chromosome forms. Trisomy can occur on non-sex chromosomes
(autosomal trisomies) or on sex-chromosomes (sex-chromosome trisomies).
Autosomal trisomies are named based on the location of the third copy – Trisomy 18,
for example, means three copies of chromosome 18 exists instead of the normal two
copies. The three most common autosomal trisomies are trisomy 13 (Patau
syndrome), trisomy 18 (Edward’s syndrome), and trisomy 21 (Down’s syndrome).
Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) occurs in about 1 in 16,000 newborns with the incidence
increasing with increasing maternal age. Trisomy 13 is characterized by severe
intellectual disability and physical abnormalities such as heart defects, brain or spinal
cord abnormalities, small or poorly developed eyes, extra fingers or toes, cleft lip or
cleft palate, and weak muscle tone. Only 5-10% of infants born with Trisomy 13 live
past their first year.
Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) occurs in about 1 in 5,000 live-born infants. It is much
more common during pregnancy, but many fetuses with trisomy 18 do not survive to
term. Incidence of trisomy 18 increases with increased maternal age. Trisomy 18 is
characterized by intrauterine growth restriction and low birth weight, cardiac and
other organ abnormalities, and abnormal physical features such as an abnormally
shaped head, small jaw and mouth, and clenched fists with overlapping fingers. Only
5-10% of infants born with Trisomy 18 live past their first year.
Trisomy 21 (Down’s syndrome) occurs in about 1 in 700 newborns with incidence
increasing with increasing maternal age. Trisomy 21 is characterized by intellectual
disability, weak muscle tone, characteristic facial appearance, cardiac defects, and
digestive abnormalities.

uCern Refresh
Women's Health Collaboration Community to unveil new look
The Women’s Health Collaboration Community is one of the most active communities
across all of uCern! Since January 1, 2013 we have seen amazing collaboration already
this year: 78 discussions and 6 documents created. On March 29th we will unveil a
new, redesigned front page in order to optimize your uCern experience. Some of the
new features will include:
Spotlight Areas: Innovate, Collaborate, and Resources—There will be three sections
at the top of the page highlighting discussions, documents, wiki pages, and links to
other content relating to our spotlight areas. Our goal is to provide you with quick
access to areas of interest we’ve seen commonly discussed throughout our group!
Discussion Categories—Below our spotlight areas will list our new discussion
categories. Based on the question you have, you will be able to quickly search all of
the existing discussions and documents already posted relating to your topic.
Client Spotlights—Be on the lookout for stories highlighting Women’s Health clients
just like you! You’ll learn not only about their organization but about their successful
implementations of PowerChart Maternity and FetaLink.
Blog posts—Hear from your client service managers, clinical strategists, and other
Cerner Women’s Health team members as we look to keep you up-to-date with what
is going on within our group, within Cerner, and the health care world.
We’ll be checking in periodically to make sure the group is as beneficial to you as pos-
sible! Feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

Lessons Learned
Adventist West Conversions
Adventist West is in the midst of a large rollout of 16 total facilities to go live with
PowerChart Maternity and FetaLink. So far, each one of their implementations has
been very successful, according to Carlene Henriques.
Our Women’s Health team reached out to Carlene to see if she could share their
implementation successes, training tips, and lessons learned.
For training, sites without NICU, the training is three 8-hr. days. With NICU, it adds
another 4 hours. For sites with LDRP’s it’s the same staff all the way through. At their
larger hospitals, they breakout postpartum from Triage and L&D.
Please see the PowerPoint slides below to read more about their implementations and
lessons learned. Keep up the great work, Adventist West!”

UAB Women and Infants Center Celebrates 3rd Anniversary
“The Women and Infants Center serves as the
foundation for growth of services to women
and infants not only throughout Birmingham,
but also across the State and Region,”
says Dr. William Andrews, professor and chair
of the UAB Department of Obstetrics and
Gynecology. "This foundation for growth
encompasses much more than the new
building itself.”
On February 21, 2010, UAB opened its new Women & Infants Center. Since opening, it
continues in its pursuit of excellence in patient care, commitment to research, and
dedication to the development of life-saving treatments.
Shawnee Mission Medical Center Celebrates Birth Center Grand Opening
On February 25, 2013, SMMC opened their new 100,000 square foot Birth Center.
The Birth Center is three times larger than
the old space and emphasizes a spa-like
atmosphere. It includes 26 labor and delivery
rooms, 43 private postpartum rooms and
three Cesarean-section suites. The Center
also features lounge areas with fireplaces for
families to gather, eat and relax while spend-
ing time with mom and baby.
The Center also provides care for the littlest patients with a Level III Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit (NICU). The unit features 24 private rooms to give families and their new
baby more space to themselves. “We wanted to address patient requests for more
privacy, and the new private rooms allow families more alone time with their new ba-
by,” says Denise Martinek, Executive Director of Women’s and Children’s Services at
SMMC .
