An intelligent patient record for obstetrics (IPROB) is a support tool for obstetrics practitioners that has demonstrated statistical reductions in risk and prevention of critical clinical errors.Posted on 02 Mar 2005
IPROB provides new tools to help eliminate errors in real-time and improve the quality of care in the obstetrics environment. The system's electronic patient record generates meticulous documentation as it proactively supports clinicians in providing the highest level of care while avoiding clinical mistakes. At the core of the system is a knowledge-base comprising more than 6,500 best practice protocols in obstetrics and 13,000 clinical data fields. IPROB's inference engine analyzes current patient data against this extensive clinical knowledge base to offer clinicians appropriate choices of care, documentation, and risk management for a current situation. The system includes an extensive risk management consultancy to help clinicians identify, isolate, and remediate quality deviations from the hospital's accepted best practice.
The system was developed by E&C Medical Intelligence, Inc. (New York, NY, USA). The company is developing similar applications of its technology throughout the patient-care environment. The IPROB system was recently adopted by Lenox Hill Hospital in New York (NY, USA).
"Building on our reputation for combining the latest technology with highly skilled and compassionate care, we are pleased to announce the addition of E&C's IPROB tool set for our OB unit,” said Michael Y. Divon, M.D., chairman, department of obstetrics and gynecology, Lenox Hill Hospital.
