Brief Overview

Using the Doctor App, Obstetricians can view more gestational information and have pregnancy management options at the point of care. 

These features in the Doctor App are only available when:

• Obstetrics and Gynaecology module is enabled in the practice 
• Provider specialty type is Obstetrics & Gynaecology
• Patient is female
• The patient is pregnant with an open obstetric record, the first antenatal appointment must have been completed on the web. 

Note: These changes do not apply to initial or post-natal consultation types. At the initial consultation, there is no obstetrics data on record yet, and at the post-natal consultation, an obstetric record is no longer open.
