Picis Anesthesia Manager

Automating the intraoperative anesthesia record

Picis Anesthesia Manager, part of the CareSuite® family of high-acuity solutions, helps clinicians manage large volumes of data in the operating room by assembling critical data for a complete overview of the patient's status. By automating the intraoperative and postoperative recovery anesthesia documentation, Anesthesia Manager provides a more complete, accurate and legible record that enhances accountability and saves both time and money.

Key benefits:

• Helps comply with HCFA concurrency regulations
  Anesthesia Manager helps practitioners meet all necessary HCFA requirements through the consistent documentation of key milestones and management of concurrency supervision. Physicians can see where they are assigned and how to manage relief schedules.
• Improves access to medical information
  Anesthesia Manager automatically documents vital patient data from physiological patient monitors, hospital data systems and care delivery devices, which helps increase the amount of time the clinicians have for care of the patient.
• Improves billing and charge capture
  Anesthesia Manager can help reduce lost charges, improve reimbursement opportunities and cut days off of billing receivables. As a result, rejected claims can be dramatically reduced and staffing requirements decreased. Through accurate and thorough documentation of the anesthesia record, Anesthesia Manager ensures proper coding at the point of care helping to increase compliance and improve reimbursement
• Helps support physician decisions
  InSight Anesthesia™ is a decision support system that works with Anesthesia Manager, enabling the creation of rules based on clinician-defined criteria.  With InSight Anesthesia, a rule can be created to notify the anesthesiologist of changes in specified information in the patient record such as heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output. InSight Anesthesia can also assist with research by helping identify patients who are eligible for clinical trials, research studies or for hospital-based protocols.
