February 14, 2025

Healthcare is always evolving, leaving behind outdated systems and adopting new solutions—especially when it comes to the unique demands of OB/GYN care. That’s because the intricate workflows of OB/GYN can be challenging without the right technological support.


Rather than adapting general healthcare solutions to fit OB/GYN workflows, purpose-built EHR systems have been designed with input from real experts in obstetrics and gynecology, offering tools and features specific to the needs of the specialty.



At Meditab, we have spent years working alongside OB/GYN practices to understand their unique challenges. Our IMS platform transforms these insights into practical solutions—from integrated pregnancy tracking to specialized documentation tools—all designed to enhance patient care and practice efficiency.

Why a Generic EHR Won’t Cut It

General EHRs lack the sophisticated tools required to capture complex details and manage specialty-specific workflows. While general EHR systems can handle basic medical documentation, they often lack the tools to support critical needs and systems. Here’s why an OB/GYN-specific EHR is essential:

1. Specialized Pregnancy Tracking

Managing prenatal care requires meticulous attention to multiple parameters throughout pregnancy. Unfortunately, many EHRs struggle to effectively track important aspects like fetal development, prenatal care solutions, genetic screening results, and risk assessments across numerous visits.

2. Complex Documentation Requirements

Each type of visit demands specific documentation approaches. For instance, a single prenatal visit might require the documentation of:


  • Fetal heart rates
  • Fundal heights
  • Maternal weight change
  • Various screening results


Many obstetrics and gynecology EHRs lack these specialized templates, forcing practitioners to adapt their workflows or maintain additional documentation systems.

3. Integrated Care Coordination

A specialized OB/GYN EHR seamlessly integrates various aspects of care from multiple providers. Users can efficiently organize and access laboratory results, ultrasound reports, and consultation from other specialists within the patient’s complete health record.

4. Enhanced Patient Safety Features

Since pregnancy care requires vigilant monitoring, OB/GYN-specific EHRs include built-in safety features like:

  • Automated alerts for abnormal test results
  • Medication contraindications during pregnancy
  • Reminders for crucial screenings.

5. Streamlined Practice Operations

Beyond clinical documentation, OB/GYN practices have unique operational needs. Specialized EHRs offer features like:


  • Automated gestational age calculations
  • Integrated ACOG forms
  • Customizable prenatal flowsheets


These tools save time and reduce the potential for human error in critical calculations and documentation.

Key Features of the IMS EHR System for OB/GYN Practices

Seamlessly managing OB/GYN workflows requires tools designed with your specialty in mind. The IMS EHR system for obstetrics and gynecology delivers a suite of features tailored to meet the unique demands of obstetric and gynecologic care. Here’s how we equip your practice to provide exceptional care:

1. Pregnancy Tracking Made Simple

Stay on top of every stage of prenatal care with advanced tracking tools:



  • Gestational age and EDD/EGA calculators allow precise milestone monitoring.
  • Document every detail of care using prenatal flowsheets and the IMS Antepartum Record.

2. Seamless Lab Integration

Order and receive lab results without leaving the system. IMS integrates directly with labs and diagnostic tools (including ultrasounds), ensuring that critical information is always accessible.

3. OB/GYN-Specific Templates

Streamline documentation with customizable templates for:


  • Prenatal visits
  • Gynecological exams
  • Procedures and surgeries



Additionally, the built-in ACOG forms ensure standardized, accurate documentation that meets professional guidelines.

4. Patient Empowerment Through Portals

  • Access to medical records and test results

  • Communication with providers

5. Comprehensive Billing and Coding Support

We understand that many patients, especially those with high-risk pregnancies, face challenges like living in remote areas or juggling work and childcare. 


With IMS’s integrated telemedicine platform, you can offer virtual prenatal care, ensuring patients get the care they need without the need to travel. Televisit makes healthcare more accessible, improving both convenience and patient outcomes.
