Fetal monitoring systems can include the feature of electronically recording and archiving
data. Manufactures have expanded these types of applications to include an electronic
whiteboard, where information pertaining to the patient and fetus can be displayed and
documented during labor. At the L&D control room, a central station display may be present
for staff to survey the maternal waveforms of all patients on the unit. Implementation
and support of these types of systems requires knowledge of networks and servers.
