An apparatus for tracking the labor progress of a patient during childbirth is provided including an input for receiving a group of clinical measurements associated to a patient. The group of clinical measurements including data elements indicative of a measurement of a previous dilatation of the cervix of the patient, a contraction count, a previous level of descent of the child, a previous effacement measurement of the cervix, an epidural status and a parity status. The group of clinical measurements is processed to generate a certain expected dilatation of the cervix by using tree following formula: x= AA + BB* (1-y) +CC*z + DD*w +EE*v + FF*u where x is the certain expected dilatation of the cervix; y is the epidural status; z is the previous dilatation of the cervix measurement: w is the previous effacement measurement of the cervix; v is the previous level of descent of the child; u is the contraction count; and where AA, BB, CC, DD, EE and FF are a set of real numbers. The certain expected dilatation of the cervix can be used to assist in determining whether a cesarean delivery is appropriate. A system for tracking the labor progress of a patient during childbirth is provided including a broker unit, a labor progress unit and an information gathering unit. The broker unit coordinates the communication in the system by receiving messages anal forwarding messages to the components of the system. The broker unit also provides publish/subscribe capabilities.
