Enabling the capture of nearly 100% of the relevant patient information through the use of MedCPU’s proprietary Medical Text Processor (MTP) technology.
- Incorporates a comprehensive set of critical evidence based rules, protocols, best practices and regulatory requirements needed within its Best Practices Knowledgebase for OB.
