Veona Maternity

What this is

Veona Maternity covers the maternal and newborn journey: antenatal visits with risk stratification, the partograph (the labour chart that plots cervical dilatation and progress against time), the delivery record, newborn registration — which mints a new patient UHID (Unique Health ID, formatted VNA-…) for the baby — the birth certificate signed under an eSign PIN (a 6-digit signing re-authentication, separate from the login password), and the birth-dose immunisation schedule.

Who uses it: the midwife records antenatal visits, manages labour, records delivery, registers the newborn, and records immunisation. The obstetrician does all of the above plus certifies births and issues the birth certificate; the vital registrar can also issue it.

Editions

Maternity is included in Hospital, Network, and Public Health. It is not in Health Centre. It depends on Register.

The Veona Maternity tabs, as the app names them:

• Reports
• Settings

Record an antenatal visit

1. Open Antenatal (“Antenatal visit”).

2. Pick the mother (her antenatal record, or her UHID).

3. Record the visit findings and risk stratification, then select Save.

Plot the partograph and record delivery

1. Open Partograph for the labour admission and select Plot entry to add a timed observation against the cervical-dilatation axis.

2. When the baby is born, open Delivery (“Record delivery”), pick the mother, set the delivery time and mode (SVD, C-section, assisted, breech), and select Save delivery.

Register the newborn (mints a UHID)

1. Open Newborn (“Newborn record”).

2. Pick the mother from the patient picker, then record the newborn’s sex, weight, APGAR, and the delivering team.

3. Select Register. A new patient UHID is minted for the baby, linked to the mother, and shown on success.

Issue the birth certificate (eSign PIN)

Caution

Issuing the civil-registration birth certificate is a signed act, re-authenticated by the registrar’s eSign PIN, and the issued certificate is locked.

1. Open Birth Certificate and find the birth record.

2. Select the issue action to open the eSign confirm.

3. Enter the 6-digit eSign PIN and confirm to issue. The certificate PDF can then be downloaded (the parent can also download it from the portal).

Record newborn immunisation

1. Open Immunisation (“Newborn immunisation”).

2. On a scheduled vaccine, open the record action, enter who administered it, and select Record dose.

Maternity reports

Reports summarises the maternal and newborn service for a Monthly or Weekly period: antenatal visits, deliveries, the caesarean-section rate, and the high-risk share, with a delivery-volume chart over the last twelve periods.

• Switch the period with the Monthly / Weekly toggle.
• Export the figures with Export CSV, or Export DHIS2 for the national health-information system.
• The MNCH Indicators panel below reports maternal-and-newborn coverage and rates over a chosen window (this month, last month, this quarter, this year), with its own Export CSV.

Maternity settings

Settings configures the maternal and newborn pathways — antenatal, labour, the newborn record, and the immunisation schedule — alongside access & audit controls. Each change saves as you make it.

The MAT programme

Note

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a distinct clinical programme for opioid-use disorder — it is not part of maternity, but it shares this help page.

The MAT Program screen is the enrolment register. A readout strip shows active enrolments, patients in induction, patients in maintenance (take-home eligible), and the total across all phases.

1. Filter the list by Active, Discharged, or All.
2. Select Enrol Patient, then choose the patient, the MAT agent from the formulary (for example methadone or buprenorphine), the prescriber, a starting take-home level, and an optional clinical note.
3. As therapy progresses, select Advance on an enrolment to move it through the phases — Intake → Induction → Stabilization → Maintenance → Taper → Discharged — recording a reason for the transition.
4. Select History to see every recorded dose for the patient.

Record an observed MAT dose

Observed Dosing records the daily witnessed dose against the recurring MAT schedule.

1. Choose the active MAT enrolment. Its due doses appear from the recurring schedule.
2. Select Record on a due dose to open the dose form.
3. Set the outcome (Given, Held, or Refused), the dose quantity, and a witness (the mandatory second checker). Optionally record point-of-care vitals (blood pressure, heart rate, sedation score), any take-home doses returned, and observation notes.
4. If misuse is suspected, tick Flag Possible Diversion. Select Record Dose to save it against the schedule.
