Moving ahead with the future of healthcare: Anesthesia EMR |
| With new concepts and specialties drawing the focus towards itself, it is compelling enough to initiate and spruce up the process of providing better solutions in order to increase the patient and facility throughput. Anesthesia EMR is one such talk of the town, which helps the anesthesiologist and anesthetist to focus on accurate clinical documentation and improving the patient care. |
|
| Although believed anonymously, that anesthesiologists are indeed slow to adopt the method of monitoring the drug administration electronically, based on a research by Frost and Sullivan, it is estimated that the anesthesia EMR would have a growth rate of about 30 percent annually over the next three years. |
|
| I am very excited about the future of Specialty EMR’s in the healthcare system. The evolving nature of the U.S. health care marketplace has given room to such a need; nonetheless, the Asian and Gulf regions too provide scope to necessitate treading the modernization path of the healthcare industry. |
|
| Using an EMR surely helps the organization. Compare spending about 3 hours in recording an appointment in paper for 10 patients (assuming it takes 20 minutes to record the details for each patient) versus using the automated EMR that would help take 30 minutes only (about 2-3 minutes each for the same 10 patients). One would surely save valuable time and increase operational efficiency this way. |
|
| No doubt, there are challenges to be faced. To take full advantage of such a system could require anesthsiologists to redesign the way they practice medicine to a certain extent. However, I also believe the benefits could be ten-fold too. In any case, bridging the gap between technology and healthcare has been and is demanding. |
