| Work Detail | The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGI) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Infosys to develop an anesthesia information system to help hospitals transform patient care experience and streamline operations. This system will include a remote patient monitoring solution, which will collect data from multiple devices (mainly vital signs monitors, infusion pumps and ventilators) in operation theatres, which can be monitored and analysed remotely. The information from these devices can be accessed through a web or desktop application, enabling doctors and healthcare providers to effectively visualise a patient’s health parameters from a physically distant location. The anesthesia information management system (AIMS) being developed is a specialised form of an electronic health record (EHR) system that will allow automatic and reliable collection, as well as storage and presentation of patient data during pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative periods. The development and deployment of AIMS at the PGI will be done in five stages and will cover the cardiac, pediatric and advanced trauma departments, among others. Dr GD Puri, Professor and head, Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, PGI, said, “It will help the anesthesiologists focus on more critical aspects of patient care and hence increase patient safety.” |
