[Use of electronic data processing for quality control in perinatal medicine]

Pregnancy, delivery and neonatal period are influenced by many factors, which effect on perinatal and neonatal mortality and morbidity on the other-hand. Numerous parameters are to be recorded and analyzed for control of quality. With conventional technic of data processing this is only possible in large perinatological centers on a restricted scale. Therefore the electronic data processing project "perinatal medicine" was developed for recording important perinatological efficiency parameters. It was introduced in the practice of gynecological and infant hospital in Karl-Marx-Stadt.
