Anesthesia Touch™ is a medical record-keeping application that streamlines the creation of anesthesia documentation. It can be configured to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of anesthesia environments including office-based surgery settings, ambulatory surgery centers, community hospitals, and academic medical centers.
Anesthesia Touch™ is built around the unique documentation needs of the perioperative environment:
- Quickly create legible, comprehensive documents to support patient care and billing
- Easily record medications, fluids, and blocks with a flexible, purpose-built interface
- Get reminders to support new documentation practices and to add needed information
- Use the iPad's camera to append supporting images to documents, such as Nerve Blocks or PreOp Evaluations
- Automatically capture streaming physiologic data to record vital signs (requires separate transmitter connected to patient monitors)
- View and send patient records via your facility's configured interfaces, including the facility schedule and outbound billing (requires interfaces with Anesthesia Touch)
Common anesthesia documents include the following:
- PreOp Evaluation
- Anesthesia Consent
- Nerve Block Documentation
- Procedure Notes
- Anesthesia Record
- Transfer Checklist
- Post Anesthesia Evaluation
Additional document types can be requested.

Version 4.5.200
4.5.200 is a minor update that addresses an issue with the new PreOp Clinic Patient List workflow and existing interface based workflows.
