Overland Park Mom Educating others to help lower Maternal Mortality in the U.S.

Fox4 News in Kansas City recently reported the tragic passing of Krystal Anderson, a former Chiefs cheerleader on March 20th, 2024 following childbirth. Her story sheds light on the urgent need for collective action to address the alarming increase in maternal mortality rates.

Heather Townsend, our VP of Clinical Education, shared insights with Fox4 on her mission to provide complimentary CE-Accredited webinar classes for OB Nurses. "It is crucial for every hospital to prioritize Continuing Education for clinicians, ensuring they are equipped with life-saving medical equipment and resources for patients upon admission & discharge," said Townsend. This proactive approach is essential in preventing avoidable tragedies like Krystal's from occurring.

Discover the comprehensive list of our complimentary, CE-Accredited webinars below along with the registration link for each class.

Also, please watch the RRU video (found below) to understand the "importance of having the right equipment in place to avoid facing catastrophic situations and potential liabilities similar to what the hospital caring for Krystal is currently experiencing," states Townsend.

Improving your Hospital's Response Time to PPH

will Save Women's Lives

A study released in the February 2022 issue of The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety, “Development of an Obstetric Hemorrhage Response Intervention: The Postpartum Hemorrhage Cart and Medication Kit,” details how a labor and delivery (L&D) unit implemented two interventions to reduce the time and distance traveled to obtain materials necessary to treat PPH.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal morbidity in the United States. Delayed treatment of PPH, including due to the lack of proximity of essential supplies and medications, can lead to significant blood loss and increased morbidity and mortality. 

Saving Lives When Seconds Count

Implementing the interventions outlined in The Joint Commission's research study discussed above, implementing the RRU^® (Rapid Response Unit) with a built-in MicroCool^® refrigerator with digital temperature readout for the storage of Methergine^® and Hemabate^®, is the answer to eliminating delayed treatment of PPH due to lack of proximity to supplies and medication. The RRU^® is the only all-in-one, multi-patented treatment system for PPH and other OB Emergencies. The RRU^® allows you to respond in under three minutes to any OB emergency. Going on five years now, hospitals and health systems across the US have been implementing the RRU to help streamline clinician workflow, reduce hospital liability cost and risk and ultimately reduce the maternal mortality and morbidity rates within their facilities. The RRU^® is a customizable system which allows hospitals to choose their drawer configuration and the accessories they need to properly respond to any OB emergency. The RRU^® comes standard with a built-in QBL scale with digital readout for precise measurement of blood loss, multiple storage drawers providing plenty of space to store all surgical instruments and supplies in one location (no more running around gathering supplies) Hospitals are outfitting their RRU^®’s with built-in JADA^® holder, OR Bright^® LED task light, IV Poles, 3-Size Glove Boxes, Mobile Suction machine & shelf, Ultrasound machine and more.
