What’s Changed? Transitioning from Niday to BORN



In response to your requests, data elements have been added/modified to help clinical decision making and to inform practice at your
organization (i.e. Bishop score, Primary indication for Induction of labour, newborn complications)
Subject Matter Expert (SME) working groups reviewed and updated data elements to ensure consistency with current clinical practice, best
practice guidelines and changing trends in population health.
Select data elements have been re-organized and/or singled out to increase specificity, improve data quality and ease of analysis (i.e. mental
health concerns, diabetes in pregnancy)
Redundant data elements have been eliminated (i.e. ‘Early Attachment/Feeding Initiation’ replaces ‘Infant Feeding in Hospital’)
Manual Data Entry Sites
 Data elements are listed in the quick reference guide (table below)
