Information systems designed to provide clinical and administrative information related to the perioperative process, including preoperative evaluations and documentation, intraoperative documentation, and postoperative nursing assessment and pain surveillance. These systems include hardware and software that are appropriate for automating surgical scheduling, supply management, comprehensive reporting on activities, and information on patient location and patient status, billing, and costs. Some systems are modular and include specialized units for every task (e.g., scheduling, nursing, operating room, anesthesia, record transcription).
