“…Information technology can improve anesthesia patient safety by minimizing errors and adverse events, decreasing response time to an adverse event, and providing feedback for quality improvement [19,21]. Efficient information access, assistance with calculations, patient monitoring, decision support, and reduction in medication errors are part of the safety net provided by an AIMS [22].…”

The anesthesia information management system (AIMS) will be part of the future of healthcare. An electronic medical records system or AIMS will provide clear and concise information and have the potential to integrate information across the entire hospital system, improve quality of care, reduce errors, decrease risks, and improve revenue capture. The practice of anesthesia requires a medical record system that can capture data in real time. In this article, we describe challenges that must be overcome to establish an efficient electronic medical record system for anesthesiology.

“…A few hospitals with special interest in clinical information systems have developed large-scale computerised anaesthesia record systems [7,8]. Commercial systems, largely orientated toward operating theatre practice, are available from a number of manufacturers, but are not in widespread use [9]. Logbooks are used by trainees, but record only limited details of the anaesthetic, and are not integrated with the working clinical record.…”

SummaryWe believe that one of the most influential developments for the practice of anaesthesia in this decade will be the introduction of a national (or possibly international) standard XML Schema for computerised anaesthetic records, and that such development should be actively promoted by appropriate professional groups. We discuss the implications of such a schema, and make suggestions regarding its requirements. We also report on one approach to the development of an XML Schema for anaesthetic records (provisionally named SnowSchema in honour of Dr John Snow), and compare the current version with the suggested requirements.

Summary:High-dose chemotherapy with autologous and allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation has become a standard therapy for hematological malignancies and solid tumors. To ensure quality of treatment and adherence to internationally approved protocols, the use of computer systems has been introduced in some oncology centers. Most software packages cannot be used automatically by other institutions because of different treatment strategies and medications. To overcome this problem, we designed a software system based on an Oracle database, which allows the user to develop his own therapy blocks and assemble them to generate specific therapy plans. The system supports the daily work of the physicians by suggesting medications based on changes in the vital parameters or the clinical chemistry. Parameters can be given upper and lower limits whose surpassing leads to treatment suggestions by the system. All quantitative variables may be depicted in a graphical way. The system is connected to external laboratory devices. Export of data to international registries is possible. Until now, 43 patients have been transplanted with the help of this system. There is a high degree of acceptance among the nursing staff and the physicians. The system can be transferred to other centers, if the local hardware and network capacities meet the minimal requirements. Keywords: quality control; computer-based; therapy plan; database The increasing need for quality control and surveillance in the field of medicine has brought about numerous software developments in order to support the daily work of physicians and nursing staff. The so-called electronic patient data management systems have been integrated into intensive care units or anaesthesiology departments. 1,2 These systems were mainly were designed to document the large number of parameters technical devices supply in these areas.In many cases, the discrepancy between structured databases and the complexity of illness and individual treatment Correspondence: M Bornhäuser,
