The Bishop system is used to estimate how easily a woman's labor can be induced. Higher scores are associated with a greater likelihood of successful induction because her cervix has undergone prelabor changes, often called ripening. A cervix dilated to 1 cm = 1 point; a cervix effaced 50% = 1 point; fetal station of 0 = 2 points; soft cervix = 2 points; and anterior positioned cervix = 2 points; total points = 8.
