Improving the Delivery Experience
Patient safety at Huron Regional Medical Center is No. 1 in any care setting. It becomes a heightened concern throughout pregnancy and childbirth – when the tiniest patients and their mothers are most vulnerable. That's why HRMC has added a new GE Wireless Fetal Monitoring system to improve safety, comfort and communication.

The new system allows HRMC maternity staff to constantly monitor the unborn child's heart rate and mother's contractions from the nurse's station, the nursery and confidentially from another room. Because it is wireless and portable, the new system also provides constant monitoring while the mother is free to move around during
her labor.

Physician communication and care is improved through an Internet-based capability that allows physicians to securely log in from their offices or homes to review the patient's progress and provide instructions to nursing staff.

Preregistration Online Now Available
HRMC patients now have the opportunity to preregister securely online at their convenience – and speed up the check-in process on the day of their appointment.

If you've been scheduled for a lab test, X-ray, surgery, to deliver a baby or any other scheduled service, just point your Web browser at least two days prior to your appointment to www.huronregional.org. On the home page in the upper right-hand corner, you'll find a burgundy tab labeled "PREREGISTER." Simply click the tab and follow the instructions to complete the online form.

Once you've completed the form, you will receive a confirmation e-mail and your information will be entered into HRMC's patient information system. Upon arrival at the hospital, go to the Admissions desk located in the front lobby of the main hospital. We will ask you to verify your registration information and have you sign authorization forms. Please remember to bring your insurance card along with you so we can electronically scan a copy.

If you have any questions concerning online preregistration, please call 605-353-6233 or 1-800-529-0115, ext. 233.
