"Data is rapidly entered - IPR's expert system ... generates an optimal set of on-screen data-entry options pertinent to the patient's current status, resulting in extensive real-time documentation... As patient information is entered, the IPR's powerful inference engine analyzes the data against its knowledge base, presenting medical staff with situation-specific documentation and case management options - in real-time and at the point-of-entry. In practice this means that every management decision is supported - and every critical detail is recorded - in strictest compliance with ... personal or institutional medico-legal protocols."

" The IPR_OB patient database offers more than 10,000 clinical data fields for documenting every conceivable labor and delivery scenario - in structured format... The IPR's "intelligent" active menu generation automatically displays a set of optimal data-entry choices for each clinical situation. You get the documentation options you need, when you need them. And because of IPR's unprecedented level of data granularity, clinicians and administrators can conduct sophisticated data analysis and research queries - or generate any number of detailed reports, especially for billing and quality assurance.
