Data processing at the anesthesia workstation: from data entry to data presentation

Main requirements for an Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) ar e the supply of additional information for the anesthesiologist at his work station and complete documentation of the anesthetic procedure. With the im plementation of an AIMS (NarkoData) and effective user support, the quality of documentation and the information flow at the anesthesia workstation co uld be increased. Today, more than 20,000 anesthesia procedures are annuall y recorded with the AIMS at 112 decentralized workstations. The network for data entry and the presentation and evaluation of data, statistics and res ults directly available at the clinical workstation was made operational.
