“…In addition, anesthesia informatics encompasses specialty-specific concerns and competencies related to using the informatics body of knowledge across the perioperative clinical and research environments. Anesthesia-informaticians work toward improving clinician workflows, patient safety, and care quality in the perioperative arena [ 21 ].…”

“…Anesthesiologist-informaticists often act as physician champions for their anesthesia information management systems that capture patient vital signs, ventilator parameters, and medication administrations to form a complete and accurate medical record of anesthetic care. [ 21 ] Pain Medicine subspecialist anesthesiologists routinely use enterprise EHRs for patient care and may be involved in developing or using clinical decision support systems (CDSS) focused on the safe treatment of patients with acute or chronic pain [ 34 , 35 ]. Colleagues focused on resident and medical student education may run advanced, computerized simulation centers [ 36 ].…”

Health care has been transformed by computerization, and the use of electronic health record systems has become widespread. Anesthesia information management systems are commonly used in the operating room to maintain records of anesthetic care delivery. The perioperative environment and the practice of anesthesia generate a large volume of data that may be reused to support clinical decision-making, research, and process improvement. Anesthesiologists trained in clinical informatics, referred to as informaticists or informaticians, may help implement and optimize anesthesia information management systems. They may also participate in clinical research, management of information systems, and quality improvement in the operating room or throughout a health care system. Here, we describe the specialty of clinical informatics, how anesthesiologists may obtain training in clinical informatics, and the considerations particular to the subspecialty of anesthesia informatics. Management of perioperative information systems, implementation of computerized clinical decision support systems in the perioperative environment, the role of virtual visits and remote monitoring, perioperative informatics research, perioperative process improvement, leadership, and change management are described from the perspective of the anesthesiologist-informaticist.

“…For instance, AIMS adoption increased from only 10% in 2007 to 84% in 2020 across all medical institutions. With this trend, there is a growing demand for healthcare informatics professionals to correlate healthcare delivery and the information sciences [10][11][12][13][14]. This process typically includes a subset of physicians working with various staff from the EHR company.…”

Electronic health record (EHR) generates a large amount of data filled with opportunities to enhance documentation compliance, quality improvement, and other metrics. Various software tools exist, but many clinicians are unaware of them. Our institution switched from a hybrid of paper and multiple small EHRs to one all-inclusive EHR system. We faced significant challenges beyond the typical new software deployment phase that affected our departmental regulatory compliance, quality measures, and research initiatives. We aimed to navigate these issues through the use of medical informatics. We used a multidimensional database software analysis tool called SAP BusinessObjects® (SAP SE. Released 2020. SAP BusinessObjects, Version 14.2.8.3671. Waldorf, Germany) to design automated queries for the patient database to generate various reports for our department. As a result, We improved our anesthesia documentation non-compliance from 13-17% of all cases to 4% within months. We have also used this tool to automatically generate various reports such as preoperative beta-blocker administrations, caseloads, case complications, procedure logs, and medication records. Even today many departments rely on manual checks for even the most basic documentation and quality metric compliance, which can be time consuming and costly. Using medical informatics tools is a highly efficient alternative. Fortunately, many software tools exist within most modern EHR packages, and most people can learn to use these tools productively.
