There may be no one more critical to a successful birth outcome than the obstetric nurse. As the OB team member who is on the front line from start to finish, the nurse is often the first to interpret the fetal heart rate monitoring tracing that could indicate a problem. Accurate assessment, recognition, and quick action in alerting the primary care provider could make the difference between a good outcome and a tragedy.
Until recently, providing obstetric nurses with tracing interpretation skills and continuing obstetric education has meant sending your nurses to costly conferences. Today, Peri-FACTS makes it possible for obstetric nurses to continually update, expand, and validate their knowledge base without ever leaving the unit...at a fraction of the cost.
Peri-FACTS originally was designed to be used in a group, and we still feel that the greatest learning benefit occurs in the interaction between care providers when discussing the cases. As technology has grown and educational needs have changed over the years, however, we decided to offer individual subscriptions in addition to our group subscriptions. Those who choose to participate in the individual program are required to participate online.
Peri-FACTS is a weekly program that provides ongoing, quality, continuing education to obstetric care providers across the nation and abroad. Distributed directly to subscribers via the Internet, it provides up-to-date information on obstetric issues that are most commonly encountered in the United States. Utilizing a combination of clinical case studies and didactic reading materials, Peri-FACTS teaches the principles of fetal heart monitoring and general obstetric care.
