The surgical suite is the largest source of hospital revenue and costs, and inefficient use of a hospital s most expensive staff and facilities can negatively impact the bottom line. Ineffective preoperative screening and missing information cause delays, unnecessary tests and cancellations and worse, can increase the possibility of adverse events and severely sour the patient experience. Additionally, complicated or manual charting leads to incomplete documentation, which not only affects patient safety, but it means less revenue and reimbursements from lost charges. To complicate matters, without the right tools, effectively managing the hectic day-of-surgery environment is a harrowing and complex challenge. The AIMS solution is comprised of five clinician-driven applications known for seamlessly fitting within existing workflows. However, MEDHOST Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) can help you avoid each of these issues while boosting efficiency, quality of care and profitability. AIMS is a targeted suite of solutions from the MEDHOST Anesthesia Information Management System (PIMS) that creates a state-of-the-art solution for the OR. The AIMS solution is comprised of five clinician-driven applications known for their high degree of adoption and for seamlessly fitting within existing workflows. Each application can be hosted on premise or remotely hosted and managed, which frees your IT team to focus on more pressing quality-of-care and compliance issues instead of day-to-day technology wrangling.
PIMS PreOp Screening The accurate and timely collection of the patient s medical history and current medical condition is vital to a successful surgical outcome. Without it, hospitals often experience costly day-of-surgery delays and cancellations and must conduct unnecessary pre-admission testing, as well as duplicate procedures. However, with PIMS PreOp Screening, critical patient information is captured and made readily available to all clinicians across the entire surgical continuum of care, ensuring consistency and accuracy throughout. Patient satisfaction and facility perception improves as a result of this complete evaluation, especially when patients only have to provide their health history once. Patient safety is enhanced due to more accurate and consistent information made available to all clinicians.
PIMS Anesthesia Charting Designed to match widely adopted, standard workflow patterns of anesthesia care clinicians, PIMS Anesthesia Charting enables complete anesthesia care documentation, including preoperative evaluation, intraoperative charting and PACU handoff. Intuitive in nature, PIMS Anesthesia Charting results in a more comprehensive anesthesia care record, which helps eliminate lost charges and billing errors. Documentation compliance is supported with more than 30 checks for patient chart completeness, and electronic reminders address potential errors.
