Abstract: The present invention is directed to a health care data management system comprising a workflow management system and a decision support system, as well as to a corresponding computer program product and a method. The decision support system comprises a probabilistic expert system for medical advice and is arranged to create a query to be sent to the workflow management system. It is also arranged to receive a corresponding answer determined by the workflow management system. This answer comprises entity allocation data relating to the allocation of an entity handled by the workflow management system. Furthermore, the decision support system is arranged to utilize the data as probabilistic input variable(s) for the expert system. Such a system has the advantage of combining up-to-date patient data and organisational data (resource allocation), which is managed by the workflow management system, with the profound medical expertise of a decision support system.

Abstract: Provided herein are calibrated obstetrical forceps and methods for using the same. The forceps include two elongate members, each having a fetal engaging end, a handle end, and a shank connecting the two. On at least one of the shanks are calibration markings that may be used to determine the amount of force being applied to the fetal skull. Such markings can be used by birth attendants to gauge the success or failure of an assisted delivery.

Abstract: Printed circuit boards may be held in place in a releasable manner in the amping gap of a clamping device having a mounting member and clamping member arranged in parallel to each other to form the clamping gap. The clamping member is pivoted or journalled to the mounting member and an adjustable biasing spring tends to close the clamping gap. The device is simple, universally usable, and has a wide clamping range as well as a high clamping force and good heat removing abilities. An axial movement of an adjustment member permits opening or closing the clamping device.
