Abstract

Patients are almost unlimited data generators. Nowadays, handling data can be easily and accurately supported by technology. In this brief note, we present the Clinical Information System (CIS) of the Cardiac Surgery Division in the University Hospital of Alexandroupolis, which is in use for the past three years, focusing on its clinical applications and merits in the operating room, intensive and intermediate care. The implications for the anesthesiologist as well as further expansion and planning are also discussed.
