Introduction
Intrapartum audits for CS have formally been studied in many countries. In a trial to improve health care performance and to decrease the number of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity, thus decreasing rate of unjustified caesarian section.
Implementation of intrapartum audit needs a specific software system of Data entry through an easy and simple manner, and the intrapartum audit software system enables us to monitor the obstetric performance in intrapartum care to decrease the unjustified CS delivery.
The WHO and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) recommended the Robson classification system as an international standard for assessing, monitoring and comparing CS rates among nations and within institutions over time, and between institutions, regardless of their level of complexity.

To test the proof of concept of using the intrapartum audit software system in improving the obstetric performance.
