DocuSys is a proprietary anesthesia information
management system (AIMS) to facilitate an electronic version of the anesthesia
record and chart entries such as drug doses and case narratives. One of the
advantage of DocuSys is that it provides
clear and easily readable anesthesia record which leads to patient safety since
it is collected electronically from clinical monitors, laboratory computers and
other monitoring devices. In addition , there are many other benefits
associated with the AIMS that include expedited transfer of the anesthesia case
record to any existing electronic hospital record system, controlled substance
tracking, improved cost management of hospital supplies.

During the implementation, there were several concerns
associated with DocuSys that include how to edit incorrect data and times and, timing
of the entries. In addition, they fell short of expectations in several areas during
mock implementation; the areas included the narcotic tracking and wastage, user
log on, image quality of the printed electronic record, accuracy of the surgery
scheduling interface, difficulties with wireless units, incomplete allergy data
from the pharmacy database. However, all issues were solved except the
incomplete allergy data from the pharmacy database before DocuSys was
implemented fully.
Overall, I believe that this is also one of the good
addition to the healthcare system. Feel free to share your comments and
thoughts about this system. The article can be accessed through the following
