GE Healthcare’s anesthesia solution reduces backlog by freeing up staff time

GE Healthcare’s multipurpose anesthesia solution enhances clinical documentation and decision-making from pre-operative assessment, throughout the patient’s time in the operating room and Post-anesthetic Care Unit. The anesthesia solution can help to address the medical services backlog by freeing up to 28 hours of staff time every week in the perioperative department.

This technology saves calls, steps and clinician time by delivering access to patient data, patient location, and patient readiness all around the hospital. Workflow is optimized with full data continuity and step-by-step structured processes that simplify tasks and increase compliance.

Importantly, this solution can play a unique role in addressing backlogs, given that worklists can be customized. Healthcare organizations can optimize specific processes, and target patient groups, thus helping to address isolated characteristics that can contribute to delays.
