AbstractThe anesthesia information management system (AIMS) will be part of the future of healthcare. An electronic medical records system or AIMS will provide clear and concise information and have the potential to integrate information across the entire hospital system, improve quality of care, reduce errors, decrease risks, and improve revenue capture. The practice of anesthesia requires a medical record system that can capture data in real time. In this article, we describe challenges that must be overcome to establish an efficient electronic medical record system for anesthesiology.
