Anaesthesia

Picis’ Anaesthesia solution is a proven IT solution which automates the capture of a patient’s anaesthetic data from surgical devices and manages the broader anaesthetic documentation from pre-operative, intra-operative to post-operative care. This information is presented to clinicians in an intuitive and familiar format enabling them to focus on the clinical significance of this information to ensure the various parameters are managed to help support clinicians’ optimum clinical care.

Introduction

The management of and clinical response to a patient’s anaesthetic state can ultimately impact upon the effective outcome of a surgical intervention and the length of time required for a patient to be discharged from hospital.  Yet too much time of an anaesthetist is spent on clerking data from patient monitors onto paper forms thereby reducing the time available for clinicians to focus on patient care.

A patient’s anaesthetic record can be vital in helping to resolve post-operative issues and to ensure the appropriate care plan is identified for the patient.  However, this information is largely poorly integrated within a patient’s record of care whether a hospital is using paper-based record or basic IT systems that do not connect with the broader electronic patient record.
Picis’ Anaesthesia solution  is a proven IT solution which automates the capture of a patient’s anaesthetic data from surgical devices and manages the broader anaesthetic documentation from pre-operative, intra-operative to post-operative care. 

This information is presented to clinicians in an intuitive and familiar format enabling them to focus on the clinical significance of this information to ensure the various parameters are managed to help support clinicians’ optimum clinical care.  Furthermore, Picis’ Anaesthesia solution is a fully integrated solution with the Picis Theatre management and Critical Care information solutions as well as our PAS and EPR solutions.  This ensures a patient’s anaesthetic record will be an accurate and visible component of a patient’s electronic healthcare record.

More Time for Clinical Care

Picis has a proven track record in helping anaesthetists to improve the quality and efficiency of the care they provide by:

  • enabling clinicians more dedicated time for the management of a patient’s anaesthetic state
  • ocumenting surgical monitoring device data accurately and reliably without the need for manual transcription
  • improving the accuracy and efficiency of post-operative anaesthetic record handover
  • reflecting local processes to support pre-operative assessment and post-operative recovery with guidance to ensure local protocols are adhered to
  • providing comprehensive audit and transparency of the anaesthetic record for performance and financial management

Doing More with Less

  • patient care – supports the anaesthetic team to deliver more focused and increased clinical time for each patient
  • post-operative recovery – comprehensive and accessible anaesthetic record to  help assist clinicians with post-operative problem solving and ward handovers
  • cost control – visibility and management of anaesthetic activity and expenditure including improved control over drug expenditure
  • protect investment – device and systems agnostic to integrate with existing and future clinical and technical infrastructure

Continuous Improvement

Picis provides a valuable repository of meaningful and reliable data that can be analysed to help identify on-going areas for continuous service improvement.  Healthcare providers can:

  • mine data to discover constellations of clinical parameters that can help clinicians to  improve outcomes
  • proactively manage planned and actual costs in key areas such as drug expenditure
  • define, implement, review and evolve evidence-based practice based on local performance
