Submit obstetrical admissions one day after discharge – not sooner

The process for submitting information on obstetrical admissions to BCN has not changed.

Please continue to submit obstetrical admissions one day after discharge. Do not submit these admissions sooner than that.

For all deliveries, submit the following information via the e-referral system:

• Admission date, delivery date and discharge date
• Type of delivery
• Whether the baby was born alive
• Whether both mother and baby were discharged alive

The news item published in April about changes in submitting acute inpatient medical / surgical admissions does not apply to obstetrical admissions.
