A new computerized anesthesia charting system integrated with a hospital information system significantly reduced anesthesiologist charting time and improved record quality. Anesthesiologists preferred the system and found it easy to use after minimal training.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Health Informatics
  • Medical Record Systems

Background:

  • Traditional anesthesia record systems were often standalone.
  • A novel system was developed as an integral part of the Health Evaluation through Logical Processing (HELP) hospital information system at LDS Hospital.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of an integrated computerized anesthesia charting system.
  • To assess changes in anesthesiologists' time utilization.
  • To determine the completeness and quality of anesthesia records.

Main Methods:

  • Time and motion studies comparing before and after computerization (44 vs. 41 cases).
  • Assessment of anesthesia record completeness.
  • Anesthesiologist attitude assessment via questionnaire.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in charting time (20.4% to 13.4%, p=0.0001).
  • Improved record legibility and completeness.
  • Positive anesthesiologist acceptance and preference for the computerized system.

Conclusions:

  • Integrated computerized anesthesia charting saves time and enhances record quality.
  • The system was well-accepted by busy private practice anesthesiologists.
  • Computerization improves efficiency and data integrity in anesthesia documentation.
