• User interfaces are optimized for surgical environments.
• Real-time tracking of OR status and electronic signatures can improve staff efficiency and OR utilization.
• CompuRecord runs on Microsoft® Windows 2000 with a Microsoft SQL Server database. HL7 and custom integration are also available.

Streamlined preoperative evaluation

Avoidable procedure delays and cancellations are often attributable to failures in the preoperative evaluation process. Pre-operative modules solve these problems with:

• Patient readiness reports
• Automatic test prescriptions based on procedure, patient age, or physiologic status
• Structured evaluation form
• Instant access to previous anesthesia records
• Remote access

 

Intraoperative documentation and cost capture

To speed data entry, EZRecord offers:

• “Event keys” that record standard procedures in one step
• Touchscreen interface
• Automatic integration of data from anesthesia machines, ventilators, and patient monitors
• Timestamps and electronic signatures
• Charge capture and export to pharmacy, billing, and HIS

 

Post-operative documentation

EZRecovery makes the documentation transition from the OR to the recovery room.
 
The form-based PACU Close module guides the anesthesia provider through post-operative comments and final notes on patient condition when finishing a case.
 
Department overview with Insight

The Insight module displays each patient’s progress through the department in real time, in addition to OR status and staff whereabouts. Retrospective analysis can identify sources of delays and improve resource utilization.
