The e-learning program can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection, meaning, courses are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. GE's Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring Interpretation and Management Program is a clinical education program and does not endorse or support any medical device manufacturer.

Drs. Miller developed the Fetal Heart Rate Monitoring educational program for clinical professionals. The Millers are practicing obstetricians-gynecologists, as well as maternal fetal medicine sub-specialists. Both did their fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine at the University of Southern California. The Millers have maintained a strong interest in teaching and research in electronic fetal monitoring.


"In 2005 and 2006, ACOG, AWHONN and ACNM endorsed the standardized definitions of fetal heart rate patterns proposed by the NICHD in 1997," said Dr. David Miller. "Agreeing to use a common language to describe fetal heart rate tracings paves the way for much needed standardization of fetal heart rate interpretation and management. The ultimate goal is to optimize outcomes and to minimize potential sources of preventable error in intrapartum fetal heart rate monitoring."

Dr. David Miller speaks frequently on perinatal risk management and standardized terminology. Numerous requests for an educational program from doctors and nurses in hospitals across the country led the Millers to partner with GE to create the e-learning program, making it more accessible and available to hospitals that need this vital information.
