Jason Hess, General Manager, Clinical Research, KLAS Enterprises, Orem, UT. Because of the complex, demanding and unique nature of the operating room, the surgery department – and anesthesia specifically – it has often been resistant to electronic automation. Yet early adopters of anesthesia information systems (AIS) are recognizing noteworthy benefits, including better patient care, a reasonable return on investment and even decreased liability. In this presentation, Jason examines the market for AIS solutions, which is growing steadily. Drawing on research from the recent KLAS AIS report, he highlights several key market trends and reviews the best-performing vendor products.
