TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 80. Documentation of Regional Anesthesia Procedures A1 - Gerancher, J.C. A2 - Hadzic, Admir Y1 - 2007 N1 - T2 - NYSORA Textbook of Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management AB - Regional anesthesia practices are expanding and multiple techniques and approaches, with increasingly sophisticated equipment and medications, are currently being utilized. Automated1–3 and hand-held computerized4,5 medical record documentation for anesthetics are being developed, promoted, and instituted. These changes are occurring in a climate where documentation must meet the burden of legal, billing, and regulatory compliance. At present, basic standards for the documentation of regional anesthesia procedures (even those for the established paper-based anesthesia record) are lacking. Most formats for documentation of our anesthesia practices have evolved largely out of our practices for delivery of general anesthesia.6 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/19 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=3510917 ER -
