Screening for Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy with Canvas

👶 Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) affect 13% to 15% of all pregnancies in the U.S., making them among the most common and dangerous pregnancy complications. Left undetected, conditions like preeclampsia and gestational hypertension can lead to stroke, seizures, organ damage, and poor fetal outcomes. To support early detection, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends routine blood pressure screening throughout pregnancy. The Screening for Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy Extension in Canvas helps clinicians identify patients at or beyond 20 weeks gestation and surfaces HDP recommendations to support better maternal and fetal outcomes. Consider a patient with no prior diagnosis of hypertension who arrives for her routine prenatal visit at 21 weeks. Canvas automatically flags her eligibility and triggers a protocol to monitor for hypertensive disorders, helping prevent complications down the line for both the parent and baby. As we observe National Cleft and Craniofacial Awareness Month, it serves as a timely reminder that improving maternal health monitoring is crucial to healthy fetal development.
