title: Summary of labour and obstetric audit by microcomputer.
abstract: A microcomputer is used directly by the clinician, immediately after delivering a baby, to produce a summary letter to the referring physician and for the case notes. The programme is easy to use, and accepted by a wide range of medical users. In addition to producing a summary, the information is added to the obstetric data base, which may be interrogated by a computer novice. The system is now used to produce yearly obstetric audits of the Queen Victoria Medical Centre.
