MedMorph's request for Mother's Prepregnancy Weight
The MedMorph team requests that Mother's Prepregnancy Weight is published separately rather than being placed in Vital Sign - Body Weight as recommended by ONC. MedMorph requests that Mother's Prepregnancy Weight is an item that should be directly reported by the mother or patient (fetal death), and not directly taken from clinical documentation. For example, data collection of prepregnancy weight may be collected manually from a mother or patient on paper format and then transferred into the electronic medical record or directly into an electronic birth registration system (EBRS). Additionally, a mother or patient may use a public health record or a patient portal to input their information. For data quality purposes it is important to recognize these data sources and why it is important to distinguish Mother's prepregnancy weight from body weight. Mother's prepregnancy weight is captured within the Mother's and Patient's worksheet that populates information within the US standard certificate of live birth and fetal death. As commented in other delivery and pregnancy related items to help lessen the burden of implementations and queries of these events is the reason to propose a Delivery and Pregnancy Information class where data elements like Mother's prepregnancy weight may be captured. This will also provide information on recognizing how this data item should be captured within an electronic system.
