Healthcare providers at River Park Hospital in McMinnville, Tenn., are using conversion technology to document anesthesia cases, according to a CMIO report.
The technology allows physicians to use a specialized ballpoint pen with an optical recorder to convert notes to electronic data. According to the report, the technology allows providers to document anesthesia care in a familiar way while automating patient EMRs.
The optical character recognition technology also lets hospital physicians access digitized anesthesia data in patient records and collect data on quality metrics.
