Common newborn calculations
Three things we really need to streamline newborn care:
1) Bili Tool (invaluable)
2) % weight change [(admit weight - today's weight)/(admit weight)] (useful elsewhere and would greatly streamline md work-stream)
3) gestational age growth charts/percentiles
-
These are great suggestions as they highlight workflow issues. The second suggestion would be a simple formula but more interestingly could be integrated into our patient db.
Note that others have voted for Bilirubin already, you can add your vote there as well:
