Summary

It is well known that medical errors account for a large amount of patient harm within the hospital setting. This is a significant problem within the emergency context. A system that acts as a prompt, guide and scribe for the obstetric emergency has been developed called 'Mednav'. Mednav is a navigation device for the management of medical emergencies; developed at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital since 2010. This is a device which acts similar to a satellite navigation devices in the automobile industry navigating you from A to B, MedNav navigates the clinician from the unwell patient to the well patient.

DEVICE

MedNav

MedNav is a tablet based platform device that acts to help teams manage emergencies. In the way that satellite navigation devices have replaced maps on journeys mednav has replaced paper based checklist and guidelines to give teams real-time guidance as the emergency happens. In supports teams by deligating, prompting and scribing as the emergency unfolds. The intervention arm will be taught how to use this device over 30 minutes and then use it in a simulated scenario managing a post partum haemorrhage.
