MetaVision® is a clinical information management system designed for use in anesthesia, critical care, and emergency medicine. It facilitates workflow in the perioperative and acute care settings through rapid and accurate record-keeping which, in turn, enable more informed and safer clinical decision-making. Additionally, one of the system's unique features is the capacity for users to customize it for their own use.
Since 2007, we have employed MetaVision® in our OR (12 rooms), ICU (12 beds), and ER (19 beds in our HCU and 4 beds in our initial treatment area), and during this interim have been using it to construct a comprehensive electronic recording and ordering system. Although overall we have found this system to be a very useful tool for acute care medicine, we have encountered problems in transferring records between departments and continue to struggle with them.
