Advantages of a Data Capture System with Video to Record Neonatal Resuscitation Interventions

Abstract

To assess the completeness and accuracy of neonatal resuscitation documentation the electronic medical record (EMR) compared with a data capture system including video STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective observational study of 226 infants assessed for resuscitation at birth between April 2019 and October 2021 at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital, San Diego. Completeness was defined as the presence of documented resuscitative interventions in the EMR. We assessed the timing and frequency of interventions to determine the accuracy of the EMR documentation using video recordings as an objective record for comparison. Inaccuracy of EMR documentation was scored as missing (not documented), underreported, or overreported.
