The Birthing Outcomes System (BOS) is a clinical management information system designed to capture details about mother and baby during the progression of a maternity episode.

This document provides a high level statement of the scope and function of the current version (5.0).

The Birthing Outcomes System since it’s inception in 1990 has been widely used by midwives and clinicians in conjunction with day to day clinical practice, administration and review in Maternity Units of varying levels of activity and complexity.

The main objectives of the system are :

• To significantly reduce data duplication and proliferation when replacing the manual process.
  
• To produce consistent and quality documentation and reporting.
• Address the competing interests between patient care responsibilities and the need for quality documentation.
• Meet the statutory reporting requirements associated with Birth Registration, Statutory and Perinatal reporting and clinical audit.
• To be a dynamic and relevant system that meets the current and future needs of Midwives and Clinicians using the system.
