Outline

April 2026 Release

This release delivers a new set of improvements for HerCare users to enhance risk identification, clinical navigation, and reporting.

Maternal Risk Identification Additions

A new high-risk pre-eclampsia flag will now appear in red on the patient worklist and detail banner for patients with lab results completed after 20 weeks' gestation who meet one of these criteria:

  • Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio >0.3 mg/dL or 24-Hour Urine Protein >300 mg.
  • Blood pressure greater than or equal to 140/90 and one or more specific abnormal lab test criteria, including elevated AST/ALT, low platelet count, abnormal kidney function, elevated hematocrit, or high sFlt-1/PGIF ratio.

For flagged patients, the Clinical Summary and Recommendations section will now display one or more of these key drivers based on lab results: proteinuria, hypertension, elevated liver function test, low platelet count, abnormal kidney function, elevated hematocrit, and high sFlt-1/PGIF ratio. The recommendation for these patients is to “Notify Ob-gyn to determine intervention(s) to manage pre-eclampsia."

Pre-eclampsia flag and clinical summary and recommendations

The HERCARE Clinical Impact Report: Early Maternal Risk Identification now includes tracking for patients flagged with a BMI risk factor, either underweight or obese, counting them in the number of patients identified in the first vs. second trimester. You can also export this data.

Hypertension Treatment Documentation and Reporting

When working on a case for a HerCare patient flagged with Gestational Hypertension or Hypertension, you can now document anti-hypertensive medication and lifestyle changes treatments. Click Complete Case on the patient record to open the Complete Visit box. Check the applicable treatments in the new Hypertension section and click Confirm.

Treatment documentation options for hypertension

Documented anti-hypertensive medication treatments will now be tracked in the HERCARE Clinical Impact Report: Hypertension (Treated vs. Not Treated). To view the HerCare patients who had a documented treatment for hypertension during pregnancy, open this report from the Reports tab and click Export Data.

Patient History and Visit Improvements

To optimize care coordination, we added a new consolidated view named Related Visits to the bottom of the patient visit page. The default Future view lists all future patient visits related to the pregnancy event specified by the estimated delivery date (EDD) in ascending date order. To view all past visits related to the pregnancy event in descending order, including case status, click Past. Click View in a visit’s row to open that visit record.

The Related Visits section on a patient visit record

Another improvement we made to the patient visit page is that the Anemia Management Treatment section now displays all medications in a strict chronological list. The list is sorted by administration start date in descending order (most recent at the top), with sub-sorting by administration time for the same calendar day. This change makes it easier to assess the patient’s treatment history, identify patterns in dosage changes, and make informed decisions about future anemia management treatments.

February 2026 Release

This release builds on the flags for gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, weight-related concerns, and transfusion risk added to HerCare in January’s release. Now you can:

  • View evidence-based recommendations to address these risks on the Clinical Summary and Recommendations tab.
  • Document and report on gestational diabetes treatments.

View Clinical Recommendations

To view clinical recommendations:

  1. From the side navigation, open the HerCare worklist and click the name of the patient. The patient details page opens.
  2. Open the Clinical Summary and Recommendations tab on the right side of the page. Below the disclaimer box, the risks that apply to this patient are listed.
  3. Check the risks that you want to see recommendations for. We have added recommendations for gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, and weight-related concerns. A box displays the key drivers and recommendations for the risks you’ve checked.
  4. Click the arrow in the corner of a box to collapse or expand it as needed.
The Clinical Summary and Recommendations tab

Note: For the transfusion risk, the Clinical Summary and Recommendations tab just displays the key drivers that determine this risk score, such as a low hemoglobin test result. You can hover your pointer over the patient’s transfusion risk on the HerCare worklist or the patient details page to see this information.

Track Gestational Diabetes Treatments

When you open the patient details for a pregnant patient who is flagged as diabetic, you can open the Clinical Summary and Recommendations tab and check the Gestational Diabetes box to see the key drivers and recommendations. These recommendations are based on ACOG Practice Bulletin No.190: Gestational Diabetes Mellitis. When you complete a case, you can choose from the recommended diabetes treatment options: blood glucose monitoring, lifestyle modifications, medication: insulin, medication: oral agents, and fetal surveillance.

Gestational diabetes treatment tracking options

The completed treatments are tracked in the Treatment and Treatment Type columns of these reports: HerCare Clinical Impact Metrics: Transfusions (Treated vs. Not Treated), Labs Completed in Time for Screening, Medication Revenue, Patient Enroll Report, ROI Impact, Total Completed Cases, and the Treatment Volume Report.

Note: The HerCare Clinical Impact Metrics: Transfusions (Treated vs. Not Treated) also pulls in anemia management treatment information in the Treatment and Treatment Type columns. This treatment information is also displayed on the HerCare patient record.

January 2026 Release

This release delivers changes to the HerCare module, the Config tab, and the Surgical worklist.

HerCare Updates

This release introduces flags for transfusion risk, gestational diabetes mellitus, gestational hypertension, and weight-related concerns to help clinicians guide treatment planning with evidence-based recommendations.

Sample flags for transfusion risk and weight
  • HerCare patients show transfusion risk level. The automated Transfusion Risk Score is calculated based on patient lab values and clinical indicators. The transfusion risk level flag of low, medium, high, or very high helps to identify women at higher risk of needing transfusions before surgery or during pregnancy, enabling earlier intervention and better maternal outcomes.
  • The gestational diabetes flag appears on HerCare patients who have positive glucose test results. A yellow flag shows that the screening test was positive, and more testing is recommended. A red flag shows that the diagnostic test results are positive.
  • The gestational hypertension flag appears on HerCare patients who meet the established blood pressure criteria. The criteria are a new onset of systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or more or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or more on two separate readings at least 4 hours apart after 20 weeks of gestation.
  • Underweight, overweight, and obese flags appear on HerCare patients who meet established BMI ranges. Underweight is less than 18.5 BMI, overweight is a BMI between 25 and 29.9, and obese is equal to or greater than 30 BMI.

Other Improvements

  • Program administrators can set thresholds for lab completion rate and patient completion rate from the Config tab. These thresholds establish the goals for display on the Program Performance dashboard. Rates that are below the saved threshold display as red on the Program Performance dashboard, and rates that are equal to or more than the saved threshold display as green. To change the thresholds, open the Config tab, enter the goal number for lab completions in the Lab Completion Rate Threshold box and the goal number for patient completions in the Patient Completion Rate Threshold box. Then click the Save button in the top right corner.
New dashboard thresholds configuration settings
  • Patients who are admitted to the hospital are removed from the Surgical worklist for review automatically. To prevent duplicated patient reviews between admitted inpatient workflows and the Surgical worklist, MyBloodHealth now updates the Surgical worklist when the patient admission status changes. The inpatient flag also appears on the patient, visit, and worklist record.

November 2025 Release

We’ve redesigned the Program Performance dashboard’s Executive KPI Tracker so that you can quickly assess whether your program is meeting its treatment and financial goals. We’ve also added the option for administrators to turn off patient assignment email notifications for users who do not need them.

Program Performance Dashboard Changes

Executive KPI Tracker

The improved Executive KPI Tracker makes it easy to check on your program’s progress:

  • Related data points are grouped together. Volumes for completed laboratory tests and completed patient cases are listed right above the overall percentage rate.
  • Donut charts and progress bars help you visualize whether the program is on track. The Treatments Completed bar shows how the treatment volume compares to the Treatment Goal for the selected date range. The bar at the bottom always shows the current progress toward the annual goal.
  • Color coding shows if your goals are being met. Green shows that the thresholds your program has set are being met. Red shows that they are not being met. In the case of the Prevalence of Anemia chart, green shows a prevalence of 35% or less, and red shows a prevalence greater than 35%.

We also have added HerCare Visits to the Quality Metrics section so that users with HerCare can check the status of patient data ingestion.

New User Email Preferences

To turn off patient assignment email notifications for a user:

  1. From the side navigation, choose the Users tab.
  2. From the Users list, click the name of the user.
  3. In the Email Preferences section, check the Notification Opt Out box.
  4. Click Save User.
Edit User page

Other Improvements

  • You can filter the Patient Enroll report to see the Surgical, Non-surgical, and HerCare populations. Previously, surgical data and non-surgical data were in separate reports. Now, all of this data and the HerCare data are in one place. Just open the Reports tab; choose the Patient Enroll report; and select Surgical, Non-surgical, or HerCare from the new Select Workflow Type list.
