Maternity dashboard user handbook

Please note that all guidance is currently under review and some may be out of date. We recommend that you also refer to more contemporaneous evidence in the interim.

The maternity indicators dashboard report is an easy-to-use, easy-to-read, real-time report tool – enabling access to local data through an integrated platform. As a tool for clinicians, managers and health service executives, the dashboard report can help identify and share evolving clinical issues with staff. It can also inform better outcomes for Victoria’s mothers and babies.

This user handbook will help health services understand the importance of monitoring maternity data. It will also assist in the running and interpretation of a local maternity dashboard report in the Birthing Outcomes System (BOS).
