Publisher Description
Anesthesia Touch™ is a medical record-keeping application that streamlines the creation of anesthesia documentation. It can be configured to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of anesthesia environments including office-based surgery settings, ambulatory surgery centers, community hospitals, and academic medical centers.
Anesthesia Touch™ is built around the unique documentation needs of the perioperative environment:
- Quickly create legible, comprehensive documents to support patient care and billing
- Easily record medications, fluids, and blocks with a flexible, purpose-built interface
- Get reminders to support new documentation practices and to add needed information
- Use the iPad's camera to append supporting images to documents, such as Nerve Blocks or PreOp Evaluations
- Automatically capture streaming physiologic data to record vital signs (requires separate transmitter connected to patient monitors)
- View and send patient records via your facility's configured interfaces, including the facility schedule and outbound billing (requires interfaces with Anesthesia Touch)
Common anesthesia documents include the following:
- PreOp Evaluation
- Anesthesia Consent
- Nerve Block Documentation
- Procedure Notes
- Anesthesia Record
- Transfer Checklist
- Post Anesthesia Evaluation
Additional document types can be requested.

Version 4.5.200
4.5.200 is a minor update that addresses an issue with the new PreOp Clinic Patient List workflow and existing interface based workflows. After this update, appointments marked as PreOp Clinics by the interface will appear in the updated "PreOp Clinic" Patient List filter (integrating the previous functionality into the new feature).
This minor update includes all the following updates of the 4.5.199 February 20th, 2024 update:
• To allow creating PreOp Clinic Documents exclusively for documenting PreOp Clinic findings at an appointment before the DOS, clinicians can now select an Appointment in the - Patient List and mark it as a PreOp Clinic. The PreOp Clinic can be signed and saved; AT will prompt clinicians to import the Clinic findings when starting a PreOp on the DOS (this is based on the Patient’s MRN)
• In order to support more pharmacy formularies and management systems, this release adds support for additional formulary configurations for Pharmacy Connect
• To improve the usability of the “Attachments” feature for Visits in the Patient List, the “Attachment” button will now be always accessible in the Patient List toolbar
• Minor UI Improvements and Other Fixes
