# Una Vita/Cedaron Perinatal Database
Una Vita/Cedaron Perinatal Database
## Creating a Safer Birthplace for Women Through Next-generation Perinatal Healthcare Analytics
*The U.S. is the only developed country with rising rates of maternal mortality and severe morbidity. Una Vita, Inc. and Cedaron Medical, Inc. have joined forces to address this critical issue with interventional, person-centered analytics that give perinatal healthcare providers access to real-time data and patient-care dashboards that will help decrease the risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality.*
**ALBUQUERQUE, NM / DAVIS, CA:** Cedaron Medical and Una Vita, Inc. proudly announce the launch of an innovative Perinatal Database. Designed especially for hospital administrators, physicians, leaders of women’s health programs, and quality improvement staff, this enterprising solution is set to transform data-driven decision-making in perinatal care. Powered by Cedaron, the Cedaron/Una Vita Perinatal Database™ (PDB) includes industry benchmarks and sophisticated morbidity risk calculations. Its enterprise quality dashboards and self-serve reporting improve outcomes, reduce the cost of care, and standardize patient care processes.
There is pressing need for decisive quality improvement measures across the continuum of perinatal care in the United States. The World Health Organization estimates that pregnancy complications cost the U.S. healthcare system an estimated $80 billion annually, and the U.S. is the only developed country with rising rates of severe morbidity and mortality in maternity care. Liability for maternity care is volatile. The CDC suggests that 60% of all maternal deaths in the U.S. are preventable. Yet, hospitals are paying record awards in lawsuits involving avoidable maternal morbidity and mortality.
The Cedaron/Una Vita PDB empowers hospitals to benchmark their performance metrics against industry standards, translating to tangible improvements in quality of care, operational effectiveness, and financial health.
### **Quality & Satisfaction ROI**
* Sophisticated morbidity predictions: The real-time dataset provides critical clinical information by looking at maternal morbidity—not just maternal death. Greater transparency of quality outcomes: Access to real-time data, and the ability to share it with authorized users across the enterprise, encourages performance to clinical standards.
* Elevated birth equality: Following The Joint Commission’s criteria and definitions from LeapFrog and three other clinical safety organizations, the PDB uses industry benchmarks to ensure every birth is approached with the highest standard of care.
* Decreased rates of severe maternal morbidity and mortality: Overall satisfaction is increased through Creating a Safer Birthplace for Women.
* Increased provider satisfaction: Personal dashboards put each user’s most important information front and center. Reports are available on demand; no need for SQL or Tableau experience and no more waiting in a reporting queue.
### **Operational & Financial ROI**
* Increased User Adoption: The platform incorporates nearly 30 years of user feedback, resulting in a user interface and workflows that clinicians trust and want to use. The solution is easy to learn, easy to use, and easy to personalize.
* Increased efficiency: Streamlined data and reporting processes lead to better time management and resource allocation. Operational reports help identify, and monitor, areas for improvement.
* Decreased length of stay (LOS): Optimized, standardized processes—supported by real-time dashboards—lead to more efficient care and turnover.
* Limited readmission penalties: Interventional analytics and real-time risk scores mitigate readmissions—before the patient has even left the hospital.
* Minimized litigation risks: Better outcomes reduce legal vulnerabilities and lower malpractice premiums.
* Better reimbursement schedules: Being able to easily prove quality facilitates (re)negotiation with payers.
### **All of this has the power to reduce the cost of care.**

It stands apart with a customer-driven design that ensures effortless data abstraction and validation. Users have access to patented real-time analytics tools and intuitive dashboards; they can also create and tailor their own reports—without needing to involve a SQL expert. Certified for interoperability, the platform works with any EHR and integrates smoothly into existing systems, allowing for a streamlined data experience.
“Una Vita’s expertise in women’s health combined with Cedaron’s proficiency in clinical data solutions for quality reporting makes the Perinatal Database an unparalleled tool for advancing health outcomes,” said Diana Bruno, President & Senior Principal at Una Vita.
When describing the user experience, Karen Bond, President & CEO of Cedaron, said: “Enterprise outcomes data tells a powerful story, but it’s often locked in silos or requires someone to massage it before it can be used. Una Vita and Cedaron give organizations a faster, easier way to access and use their information. We’re excited to put our registry software and interventional analytics in the hands of those who are doing the critical work of reducing perinatal morbidity and mortality.”
Every PDB user will benefit from a customized data analysis and guide for effective implementation which is set to turn data into actionable insights that will ultimately save lives and reduce risk.
Healthcare leaders, managers of women’s health departments, physicians, women’s health advocates, accreditation organizations, and quality control staff are encouraged to explore the potential of this partnership.

Creating a Safer Birthplace for Women
Una Vita, Inc.’s Perinatal Gap Analysis (PGA™) delivers pioneering approach to solve soaring rates of preventable maternal mortality and severe morbidity in the U.S.
Industry-leading women’s and infant healthcare advisory firm, Una Vita, Inc., announces the launch of a sustainable solution to the growing problem of preventable maternal mortality and severe morbidity in U.S. hospitals and healthcare systems. Una Vita’s Perinatal Gap Analysis (PGA™) is a proprietary online platform that employs the country’s leading medical experts to perform a comprehensive perinatal gap evaluation and provide a customized roadmap for improvement.
The U.S. is the only developed country with rising mortality and severe morbidity rates in its maternity care systems. The World Health Organization estimates that pregnancy complications cost the U.S. healthcare system an estimated $80 billion annually. The liability environment for maternity care is volatile, and hospitals are paying record awards in lawsuits involving preventable maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity. Further, the CDC suggests that 60% of all maternal deaths in the U.S. are fully preventable. The data testifies to the necessity of decisive safety improvement measures across the continuum of perinatal healthcare in the U.S.
Una Vita has been exclusively dedicated to the health of women and children for over two decades, designing nationally-recognized programs of excellence for Women’s, Neonatal and Pediatric services in hospitals and health care systems. “Our proudest engagements have been working with organizations committed to Zero Harm, to create a culture that makes patients and workers safer,” said Diana Domenica Bruno, Co-Founder, President and Senior Principal, Una Vita**.**“Being part of the solution to creating a culture of perinatal safety for women is for us a calling.”
With deep concern for the current, alarming trends in Perinatal Safety, Una Vita has developed the Perinatal Gap Analysis (PGA™) – an original approach to identify gaps in perinatal care at clients’ facilities and to create sustainable cultures for perinatal safety that satisfy all key national standards. In accordance with today’s safety and health requirements in the workplace and beyond, the Una Vita PGA™ is conducted through a virtual platform that brings the best national Perinatal Safety medical experts and advisors together to guide hospitals and healthcare systems to establish evidence-based plans for reversing the course of what has become a national crisis.
The Perinatal Gap Analysis is a collaborative process emphasizing communication and teamwork between Una Vita and client, organized around three core principles: leveraging national experts, cultivating a culture of safety, and ensuring birth equity.
The entirely virtual approach eliminates the need for travel and schedule negotiations and allows Una Vita to match clients’ needs for optimized perinatal performance with the best, most experienced leaders, physicians and national experts.
With in-depth examination of clients’ information, processes and data against national standards for excellence in Perinatal Safety, and through extensive client interviews via HIPPA-compliant Zoom video conferencing, Una Vita performs a thorough assessment of the delivery of perinatal care at client facilities.
Recognizing the nation’s increasingly diverse communities and the significant maternal healthcare disparities that occur within them, Una Vita’s PGA™ engagements focus on identifying and resolving inequities in perinatal care that derive from gaps in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Based on the findings and conclusions of the PGA™, Una Vita presents a customized, strategic work plan and next steps for systematic transformation and impactful improvement in Perinatal Safety at client institutions including program elements, deployment, operations, and staff engagement.
What distinguishes Una Vita, Inc. is the boutique nature of its firm and its work. Una Vita selects only a limited number of clients each year in order to work with each client closely, comprehensively, and with a decided emphasis on communication and teamwork. All elements of Una Vita’s signature course of action converge in the Perinatal Gap Analysis with the goal of Creating a Safer Birthplace for Women.
