NCC created the “Your Baby Communicates” PSA to highlight the advantages of certification in Electronic Fetal Monitoring. Describing how healthcare professionals who are nationally certified in EFM understand what the baby is communicating by using their specialty knowledge to assess the fetal condition - especially during labor. They work effectively as a team, using a systematic approach to identify and manage clinical situations, caring for two patients at one time.
Many thanks to AMITA Health/St. Alexius Medical Center for allowing NCC to record their staff and facilities. We appreciate the time spent by their staff, patients and family members to help us illustrate the importance of EFM certification.
NCC Electronic Fetal Monitoring Certification C-EFM(R) One Team, One Language… Quality Outcomes Peer-to-peer discussions on the value of EFM certification
Having Electronic Fetal Monitoring certification from NCC promotes effective communication and collaboration amongst the different roles team members may have. —David McLean, MD, MPH, FACOG, C-EFM
With my Electronic Fetal Monitoring credential, it makes communication among the team members so much clearer. Both nurses and physicians are held to the same standards and are significantly decreasing the risk of miscommunication. I am so proud to be a member of the L&D team––we’re all finally speaking the same language. —Jill Mauldin, MD, C-EFM
Just as ACLS is considered a core competency in the ED, ICU and PACU, it stands to reason that NCC certification in EFM should be considered a core competency in L&D. — Heather Gocke, M.S., RNC-OB, CPHRM, C-EFM
NCC EFM Certification is an extension of the fetal monitoring education offered. When a care provider has that NCC certification, it indicates that the care provider stays current in fetal monitoring, can speak to the standardization of terminology, and they are committed to on-going fetal monitoring education. — Jean Salera-Vieria, MS, PNS, RNC-OB, C-EFM
