[Project for a computerized system of information on pregnancy and labor (GEST-PARTO)]

The Obstetrics Division of Schio Hospital has introduced the computerised management of pregnancy and birth in order to obtain standard and complete data on both pregnancy, wherever the woman is followed, and birth, whenever this occurs and by which ever team the woman is assisted. Computerised management is possible on account of the low costs, the availability of large ranges of software and the ability to transfer data. It is based on the presumption that on being admitted to hospital all women must possess a clinical record of their pregnancy stating the obstetrical risk. The programme GEST-PART contains a 6-letter password which gives access to the utility menu.
