No more paper

The pain of the handwritten record is removed. K2 Athena is the FIRST ever end-to-end Maternity Information System to provide a completely paperless Electronic Maternity Health Record (EHR/EMHR). Athena collects all notes from the entire pregnancy pathway electronically and can therefore provide all patient information to healthcare professionals effortlessly at just the touch of a button.

Captured once

Maternity clinical data is captured once, and once only; contemporaneously at the point of care during the patient interaction, even in emergency situations. There is no need to rely on retrospective entry away from the patient. Athena Maternity System facilitates patient consultation, captures interaction, enhances clinical oversight and communication, helping multi-disciplinary teams plan future care.

Seamless data

Developed entirely by K2 Medical Systems, Athena uses a single database and, by linking seamlessly with medical device equipment and interfacing with other hospital systems, provides accessible data and facilitates contemporaneous workflow. There are no gaps in the data and no internal interfacing is required. An obstetric risk management system, offering a complete solution to patient data capture, Governance and learning.

Women are now empowered to view their handheld maternity notes online. The provision of Athena’s Electronic Personal Health Record (ePHR), ensures data can be accessed instantly, or granted to other healthcare professionals.
