Abstract

The anesthesia record is more than just a historic snapshot of clinical care. It also serves as a clinical monitor in itself. In electronic form, and as a component of an electronic health record (EHR), its utility is extended to provide data to drive clinical decision support, compliance, research, administrative, and human resource functions with an overall goal of performance improvement.
