Your Baby Communicates - National PSA Campaign

CHICAGO, Oct. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Certification Corporation (NCC) is pleased to announce the consumer awareness campaign, "Your Baby Communicates".

This national PSA campaign includes Broadcast and Cable TV in major designated market areas across the country and is expected to generate between 100 and 300 million impressions. Its purpose is to inform the public about Electronic Fetal Monitoring (EFM) and how it is used throughout prenatal care and during labor to monitor the baby. While the mother can talk to her health care team, Electronic Fetal Monitoring is the voice of the baby.

The message: Your baby communicates, and your certified EFM healthcare team understands, because they all speak the same language.

NCC created the "Your Baby Communicates" PSA to highlight the advantages of certification in Electronic Fetal Monitoring. Describing how healthcare professionals who are nationally certified in EFM understand what the baby is communicating by using their specialty knowledge to assess the fetal condition - especially during labor. They work effectively as a team, using a systematic approach to identify and manage clinical situations, caring for two patients at one time.

Having Electronic Fetal Monitoring certification from NCC promotes effective communication and collaboration amongst the different roles team members may have.
