At present if a mother is previously unknown to Euroking having searched and found the patient - you are automatically taken into an 'open pregnancy'. Where as mothers with previous pregnancies you need to select the correct pregnancy or open a new.
This automatic generation of pregnancy for prev. unknown pts - has resulted in no pregnant patients having information incorrectly recorded against them - when staff have not undertaken the required/ expected routine checks. This is a risk to both the mother whose record the information has been added and the mother whose information is missing.
This risk / error would be reduced if for all patents you were required to select the correct pregnancy or generate a new
