Standardization of FHR pattern interpretation can greatly minimize inconsistencies and significantly impact practice, care and ultimately, patient outcomes.

About this Course

Developed by Frank Miller, MD and David Miller, MD this comprehensive and interactive program includes five courses to guide you through a standardized interpretation of FHR patterns.

Program Objective: The objective of this program is to familiarize nurses and physicians with standardized definitions for visual interpretation of electronic fetal heart rate monitoring patterns as proposed by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Research Planning Workshop in 1997 and endorsed by ACOG and AWHONN. This information will facilitate effective communication among members of the health care team.
