title: [Computerized obstetrical record of the North Pas-de-Calais region].
abstract: The computerized obstetrical record of the North-Pas-de-Calais region proceeds from the desire of a number of people from the Regional Health Observatory, to dispose of a prospective epidemiologic tool in the field of perinatology. The objective is a better knowledge of the cause of perinatal death, analyzing the modalities of prenatal monitoring, delivery conditions, transfer of the newborns, as well as socio-economical conditions. The program manages the computerization of a usual obstetrical file, in the region, including approximately 200 items and allowing every possible comparison with the well-known CCIM record. The program permits local treatment of the data (statistical calculations) in each maternity hospital: rapid transmission of information between maternity and correspondents (computerized personalized mail), a base of agreement between the different protagonists: midwives, pediatricians, specialists, an easier collaboration with the protection agencies and, especially, the Regional Direction of Sanitary and Social Affairs, with automatic response to hundreds of questions of the yearly questionnaire, which saves a great deal of time and an extreme reliability of the information. This program is compatible with any IBM PC microcomputer and includes a hard disk of 10 or 20 mega-octets. The current price (microcomputer with hard disk, monitor, keyboard, letter-quality printer, management program) make all these performances available at a relatively low expense, under 25,000 francs (not including the tax).
