Development and use of specific information systems are nowadays a priority to healthcare organizations. This interdisciplinary paper, between Medicine and Computer Science, comprises an exploratory survey of obstetric and neonatal assistance during the process of birth by focusing on clinical records. It also involves the development of a healthcare indicators dashboard and the implementation of an Obstetric Electronic Health Record. All these efforts aim to improve quality of healthcare assistance. This prototype has been installed within a Brazilian university hospital. Preliminary results included 907 deliveries (from August to December 2012). The Cesarean section rate was 36.4% (65.4% high-risk pregnancy). Among the perinatal indicators, the Apgar Score bellow seven in the 5 th minute was 5.56% and 0.93% whenever considering only fetuses defined as compatible with life. Disclosure and discussion of these data proved to be able to contribute to researches and to management of an obstetric healthcare unit.
Describing of Referral Health System for Pregnant Women in Al-Najaf-Iraq
Background: The development of actual patient referral systems is considered one of the important public health issues in developing countries. Primary health care services will not be benefit without effective procedures in the hospital that support to refer the patients who need special services. The medical health care system in Iraq based on a hospital oriented and capital-intensive model that has limited efficiency and does not have equitable access. Objective: This study was conducted to describe the referral health system in Al-Najaf province, Iraq. Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional study has described the referral health system in Iraq, Al-Najaf province. This study is the first national research has been conducted to describe the referral health system (the pregnant women as an example). The researcher has reviewed a group of studies reported in (Medline, WHO Portal, POPLINE, PubMed) databases that have assessed the referral health system. The medical services for women are provided in an integrated and comprehensive manner covering preventive, promotive and curative aspects of care in a set of phases are (antenatal care, delivery care, postnatal care, family planning and care for the newborn). Outcomes: The referral system in Iraq is classified to three levels are: PHC main centers which is including three categories of PHC (A-approx. 817 centers delivered all the primary health care services), (B-approx. 19 centers includes the same services as a category (A) plus a training place) and(C- approx. 123 centers includes the same services as Class (A) in addition to emergency care services. Second, PHC Subcenters (called Category D) includes 53 centers deliver simple curative services, immunization activities and simple maternal and child health services. Third, Hospitals: Secondary and tertiary care levels are provided by 208 government hospitals, providing 36 057 hospital beds and 80 private hospitals (2 273 beds). Conclusion: Decades of war and sanctions have seriously compromised the function of the health system. There are adequate financial resources, but with a shortage of skills, strategies and human resource development. In addition, the health strategies have failed to link needs, strategic plans, and training programs together. Keyword: Referral health system; Referral of pregnant women

Information management in Iranian Maternal Mortality Surveillance System
Electronic Physician
Background: Maternal mortality is preventable by proper information management and is the main target of the Maternal Mortality Surveillance System (MMSS). Aim: This study aimed to determine the status of information management in the Iranian Maternal Mortality Surveillance System (IMMSS). Methods: The population of this descriptive and analytical study, which was conducted in 2016, included 96 administrative staff of health and treatment deputies of universities of medical sciences and the Ministry of Health in Iran. Data were gathered by a five-part questionnaire with confirmed validity and reliability. A total of 76 questionnaires were completed, and data were analyzed using SPSS software, version 19, by descriptive and inferential statistics. The relationship between variables "organizational unit" and the four studied axes was studied using Kendall's correlation coefficient test. Results: The status of information management in IMMSS was desirable. Data gathering and storage axis and data processing and compilation axis achieved the highest (2.7±0.46) and the lowest (2.4±0.49) mean scores, respectively. The data-gathering method, control of a sample of women deaths in reproductive age in the universities of medical sciences, use of international classification of disease, and use of this system information by management teams to set resources allocation achieved the lowest mean scores in studied axes. Treatment deputy staff had a more positive attitude toward the status of information management of IMMSS than the health deputy staff (p=0.004). Conclusion: Although the status of information management in IMMSS was desirable, it could be improved by modification of the data-gathering method; creating communication links between different data resources; a periodic sample control of women deaths in reproductive age in the universities of medical sciences; and implementing ICD-MM and integration of its rules on a unified system of death.
