Tenn. hospital digitizes anesthesia data
Healthcare providers at River Park Hospital, a 125-bed full service hospital in McMinnville, Tenn., are using Shareable Ink’s conversion technology to document anesthesia cases.
Using a specialized ballpoint pen with an optical recorder, clinicians’ pen strokes are converted to electronic data, enabling providers to document anesthesia care in a familiar way without losing productivity while simultaneously automating patient medical records, Nashville, Tenn.-based Shareable Ink stated.
The optical recorder communicates with offsite servers to generate electronic data for health records, requiring no change in workflow for physicians, the company claimed.
In addition, the optical character recognition technology enables River Park Hospital clinicians to quickly access the digitized anesthesia data in patients' EHRs and capture key quality metrics while eliminating the need for paper scanning and manual “spot-checking” of charts, according to Shareable Ink.
