Benefits of Automating and Connecting Anesthesia. Automating anesthesia documentation and connecting it to the Meditech
AIMS Interoperability with Meditech
SIS has worked with Meditech to develop a number of integration points between SIS and the Meditech enterprise system to fill the Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) gap for Meditech clients. An easy-to-use AIMS that replicates and simplifies all of the steps of the paper anesthesia chart, SIS Anesthesia makes it easy for anesthesia providers to quickly create legible, comprehensive, and sharable anesthesia records.
SIS’ proven discrete data integration with the Meditech OR and clinical systems helps streamline workflow for anesthesiologists, enabling them to spend more time caring for their patients while supporting the hospital’s clinical and financial goals.
Benefits of Automating and Connecting Anesthesia Automating anesthesia documentation and connecting it to the Meditech OR and EHR systems offers a number of benefits, such as aiding quality care delivery, supporting compliance efforts and billing, and providing data to support efficient throughput and resource use. Here’s how: • Documentation flows forward throughout the care event, which eliminates duplicate documentation and makes information easily accessible to anesthesia providers. • Historical data gives anesthesia providers a full picture of the patient’s past and current problems. • Connectivity to physiologic monitoring devices automates the documentation of vital signs, which gives anesthesia providers more time to focus on the patient. • An electronic anesthesia record supports quality reporting initiatives such as Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) and the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS). • Bills are submitted in a more timely fashion because charges are accurately captured and automatically transmitted to the hospital’s financial system or third-party professional billing service. • Anesthesia-specific analytics help hospitals monitor key performance indicators to identify opportunities for care quality and throughput improvement. • The patient can have a better experience because anesthesia providers can verify their information instead of asking redundant questions.
