    Purpose Of ReviewThe nonoperating room environment presents a number of distinct challenges for anesthesiologists in the implementation of electronic health records (EHRs). These include documentation compliance, billing, and room design.Recent FindingsEHRs offer multiple opportunities for improved continuity of care, expedited preoperative evaluation, and seamless transitions between anesthesia and nonanesthesia providers. Additionally, data gathered through adoption of EHRs provide the promise of future analysis and research, allowing for data-driven improvements in quality of care and value optimization. Institutions adopting a new EHR in areas where anesthesia is provided outside of the operating room should plan wisely to address these matters.SummaryThe needs of anesthesiology practice should be carefully incorporated into future EHR builds as demands for anesthesia care outside of the operating room expand.
