Did the introduction of an electronic booking form for elective caesarean section improve compliance with guidelines for gestational age at delivery?

The introduction of an electronic CS booking form in conjunction to clinical prioritization improved compliance with clinical guidelines for recommended gestational age at time of delivery, particularly for patients with maternal or neonatal risk factors. While the booking form did not significantly impact overall compliance or the rate of patients presenting with SROM or in labour requiring emergency CS, it highlights the valuable role of digital innovation in reducing unwarranted clinical variation. Future research should explore broader implementation across various healthcare settings.
