BabySteps and Cerner application integration Pediatrix Medical Group (PMG) provides multidisciplinary services systemwide. PMG and other Banner provider groups utilize the BabySteps Cloud application, which is a clinical documentation tool designed exclusively for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients to capture specific granular data at point of care. On Dec. 18, 2023, Banner will implement a new interface feature to streamline the provider workflow of transferring their notes from BabySteps to Cerner Powerchart with an automatic export of the completed note once approved for billing.
