The EDD (Estimated Date of Delivery) section helps providers get an estimated date of patient’s delivery calculated based on the date of LMP, Initial Visit, and Ultrasound. Once the LMP, Initial Visit, or Ultrasound date is entered, system auto-populates EDD. Practice users can record EDD update on pregnancy in the 18-20 Week EDD Update section by capturing date of Quickening, Fundal Ht of Umbilicus, FHTW/Fetoscope, and Ultrasound. Once you select the date in the respective fields, system calculates the EDD by adding number of weeks mentioned against the dates.

 

You can either calculate patient's Initial and Final EDD based on the Initial Exam, LMP, or Ultrasonography date or manually enter the dates selecting the Others option in the drop-down list.  All the details recorded in the EDD tab appear on the Antepartum Report.
