Calgary Health Region, one of Canada's largest integrated health systems, has selected Picis CareSuite to automate more than 65 operating rooms (ORs) in four acute care hospitals and a number of satellite sites that serve an estimated 1.5 million residents, with referrals from Southern Alberta and Southeastern British Columbia. This agreement extends a strong working relationship between Picis and the Region that was established in 2001 when the organization installed Picis' anesthesia information system. The CareSuite OR Manager module will integrate with CareSuite's anesthesia module to provide one continuous clinical record and total perioperative automation of the Region. CareSuite's flexibility, ease-of-use and comprehensive features will also move the Region one step closer to its goal of providing an Electronic Health Record.
