New Macro-Based PreOp in Anesthesia Touch

Overview

Coronis Health has introduced a redesigned PreOp Document that enhances usability, efficiency, and layout flexibility. This new version is macro-based and supports dynamic orientation (portrait and landscape), improving readability and workflow compared to the legacy portrait-only format.

What’s New in the Redesigned PreOp

1. Macro-Based Workflow

  • The document is structured around modular macros (e.g., Patient Info, Allergies, Medications, History, Physical Exam, Airway, Vitals, Labs, Assessment).
  • Each section can be completed independently using structured inputs and predefined options.
  • Supports chart-by-exception workflows (e.g., “WNL” selections for quick documentation).

2. Dynamic Layout (Portrait + Landscape)

  • Unlike the current PreOp (portrait-only), the new version:
    • Automatically reflows content
    • Uses landscape orientation when needed to better display dense clinical data (labs, vitals, summaries)
  • Improves:
    • Print readability
    • On-screen review experience
    • Data density without clutter

3. Consolidated Clinical View

The redesigned layout presents key patient data in a single, structured dashboard-style view, including:

  • Patient demographics & identifiers
  • Allergies & medications
  • Problem list (by system)
  • History (social, surgical, anesthesia complications)
  • Physical exam & airway assessment
  • Vitals & lab results
  • Imaging & cardiac testing summaries

Example from redesign:

  • Labs displayed in grouped panels (CBC, BMP, COAG)
  • Airway and vitals shown side-by-side for quick review
  • Problems organized by system (CVS, Pulm, Neuro, etc.)

4. Improved Navigation

  • Left-side navigation allows quick access to:
    • Patient Info
    • Allergies
    • Medications
    • History
    • Labs
    • Imaging/Cardiac
    • Physical Exam
    • Airway
    • Vitals
    • Assessment & Plan
  • Enables faster switching between sections without losing context

5. Enhanced Data Visualization

  • Color-coded sections for quick scanning
  • Grouped panels for related data (e.g., labs, imaging)
  • Clear separation of:
    • Imported data vs. manually entered data
  • Alerts and indicators (e.g., lab availability warnings)

Availability

  • The new PreOp Document is currently available in QA and can be enabled upon request

To request access:

  • Submit a ticket to Anesthesia Touch Support (anesthesiatouch@coronishealth.com)
  • Specify:
    • Facility name
    • Request for “New PreOp Macro-Based Document”

Impact to Users

Benefits

  • Faster documentation using macros and structured inputs
  • Improved readability (especially for complex cases)
  • Better printing format (landscape support)
  • Streamlined clinical review

Considerations

  • Users may need brief orientation due to layout changes
  • Workflow is similar but more structured and modular
