The collection and evaluation of obstetric data is essential for assessing the effectiveness of the health and social services in a country. A computerized system in use on a national level is described. The person‐based system aims to include all patients who encounter government medical services, including obstetric and infant data. The scope of the service is to make individual patient records easily available to the practitioner, but is designed to allow statistical analysis of the data.
