A legacy anesthesia product and provide seamless integration specifically between the OR nursing records and anesthesia

Picis today announced agreements with six major health systems in the United States and Canada to replace their existing operating room (OR) and anesthesia information systems (AIS) with Picis’ solutions. These leading institutions consist of Bellevue Hospital Center in New York City, Enloe Medical Center and Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare of California, The Ottawa Hospital of Ontario, Tufts Medical Center in Boston, Mass., and University Health System, San Antonio, Tex.
“We believe that Picis continues to be the system of choice for hospitals that want to automate their entire perioperative suite,” said Todd Cozzens, CEO and vice chairman at Picis. “Today’s operating room is expected to be the most efficient and highest revenue producing department of the hospital, yet it is also where patient safety is at highest risk. The leading health systems cannot afford to compromise with systems that do just the basics. The environment today is too demanding, and that’s why more health providers choose Picis than any other system.”
