Description

Guided by the core vision of “Smart Care with Heart Throughout the Journey,” the obstetric care team at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital integrates resources from obstetrics,delivery rooms, postpartum wards,nursing, health education, nutrition,and interprofessional teams to establish a continuous,holistic care model from prenatal care to delivery,postpartum recovery, discharge, and follow-up. The service includes prenatal education, birth preparation,LDR-based delivery care, rooming-in, breastfeeding guidance, nutrition support, postpartum emotional screening, and extended care. With mothers and families at the center, the team provides a safe, reassuring, and compassionate care experience. For high-risk pregnancies and obstetric emergencies, the team has established interdisciplinary response mechanisms, supported by central fetal monitoring, standardized workflows, and high-fidelity simulation training to strengthen early recognition and timely management. The postpartum ward promotes 24-hour rooming-in and has developed innovative services such as the “Happy Breastfeeding” mobile cart, breastfeeding consultant system, breastfeeding support groups, VR meal-ordering system, EPDS-based postpartum depression screening, and follow-up health education after discharge. These services extend care beyond hospitalization to the family and community, demonstrating the medical center’s professional value in high-risk maternal care, human-centered support, and innovative nursing practice.


Key Highlights

Guided by “Smart Care with Heart Throughout the Journey,” this service builds a holistic maternal-infant care model from prenatal care and delivery to postpartum recovery and follow-up. Its key feature is the integration of smart technology, standardized workflows, and compassionate care to create a safe,efficient, and warm obstetric care system. Before delivery, childbirth experience programs, parenting classes, and individualized education help families understand the labor process, reduce anxiety, and prepare for parenting. During labor,the LDR model integrates labor, delivery, and recovery in one room, while the central fetal monitoring system supports real-time assessment and early recognition of high-risk pregnancies and obstetric emergencies. After birth,the team promotes 24-hour rooming-in and provides timely lactation support through the “Happy Breastfeeding” mobile cart, breastfeeding consultants, and support groups. A VR-based meal-ordering system enhances maternal nutrition choices, while EPDS screening and referral pathways help identify emotional risks early. After discharge, telephone follow-up, LINE-based education, and a 24-hour breastfeeding hotline extend care to families and the community. High-fidelity simulation training further strengthens interdisciplinary responses to postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal resuscitation, and other emergencies, demonstrating the medical center’s strengths in maternal-infant safety, smart care, and whole-journey companionship.
