Picis Anesthesia is the most complete, legible, defendable record that you'll ever document. You can read it, there is more documentation than you would ever have on a paper record, and build the record with pre-defined language.
Anesthesia Manager is a really good product. We have been able to customize it very easily and can easily make small tweaks to get it to do what we need.
We get a lot better documentation for a lot less effort.
The product has definitely freed up people in the anesthesia department to give more hands on-care because the machine is doing all the documentation.
I like that Anesthesia Manager follows the best practice guidelines and that the system brings these guidelines right into the charting. When we chart, we know we are going to get the best practice out there.
The training at implementation was very good. It was also good to have an anesthesiologist contact, so the training could be peer-to-peer. Our anesthesiologist contact could share what he had done and lived through and could handle.
