Hi
Jan
If
you want any assistance with excel I am willing to assist
I
have a very good working knowledge of excel, however you may be better using
access which is a database program and very good at statistical work
I
could put you a program together that is simple to use but will enable you
to pull out in-depth statistical information.
If
you are interested just let me
know
There
will be no charge

[ozmidwifery] Birth summary forms
Hi
Sue
Not
sure what birth summary forms are, but my Birth Register is simply an excel
spreadsheet with all the details .. name address age etc. all the
demographics. then time membranes ruptured (if less than an hour before
birth ... etc..) number of vaginal examinations (i love entering zeros!) ,
length of each stage position for each stage ... time of birth , date of
birth lots of stuff plus comments for anything interesting like placentas in
situ for eight hours , what we did about it , what type of sutures were
used, etc. The reason for it all being on a spreadsheet is so that I can
statistically analyse it to get the average age of my clients, average
duration of labour, first stage etc. It might be handy one day. I would have
to get m y daughter to help me with the analysis as I am not brilliant using
Excel, ... one of my clients set it up for me many years ago ... It's easy
enough to do if you understand Excel. I think Robyn THompson sets hers up on
some similiar type of spreadsheet.. she was going to market it at one stage.
Hilda Bastian also had a brilliant one set up to go underd the HBA banner.
It was the best idea I had ever seen as it also had the facillity for
anylisising social data as well. She was going to get hers to a marketable
stage too but then the homebirth movement seemed to crumble temporarily and
it has been lost to us. It would be a great project for HBA to tackle, but
we could also get the NSWPD people to provide us with a template for their
data sheet with add ons. TheUSAmidwives have one that Maralyn Kleidon would
know about but she is in the states at the moment. Perhaps we could put
pressure on the College to produce a workable one for all homebirth midwives
that could be used to collect research data for their IPM Accreditation
program that they are getting set up. Lots of possibilities
Did
you get the papers I sent you? We need to get the new forms from Centre Link
now.
Haven't
got mine yet, they tell me they don't have anymore as they had a printing
mishap so I will have to go up to my local office to get then.
Hope
you and Arthur are both well. Give my love to Penny.
