This app provides users of the Graphium EMR system quick and easy access to all EMR functionality. We were promised a world where medical records were digitized, simple, and intuitive. The EMR solutions that have emerged aren’t good enough, especially in acute care, high mobility settings like anesthesia. For anesthesiologists, they’re distracting and cumbersome. For administrators, they’re expensive and restrictive. Graphium's AnesthesiaEMR™ is made by anesthesiologists, for the way anesthesiologists actually work. Data is entered in a simple and unobtrusive mobile interface. Data is pushed to the cloud, where it can be turned into actionable information for administrators.
