Cosalient EHR Implementation and Integration
All too often, EHR implementation becomes an HIS department or administration driven project that has difficulty gaining traction and “buy-in” from the clinical users. In such a situation, your valuable clinical care assets become opponents of your project instead of partners who work towards making your new system a success. Cosalient® EHR offers a golden opportunity for administration and HIS to gain strong allies in your overall EHR implementation.
Caregivers are not technology averse. They merely dislike any systems that make patient care less efficient, increase workload, raise perceived liability exposure, or physically distance them from their patients. Would you want to use a tool that consistently makes your day longer, harder, riskier, and makes you appear distracted to your clients? No! Make the EHR desirable and users naturally embrace it.
From a HIS perspective, the difficulty of getting an anesthesia department to embrace just any deployable electronic record seems perplexing. You are not experienced in routinely navigating real, second by second, life and death situations. Seconds count. Minutes kill in anesthesia. Simultaneously, the anesthesia caregivers do not understand why their patient safety, time critical, high malpractice exposure practice needs are ignored by the EHR project. That pre-integrated anesthesia module may seem fabulous to implement and maintain, but falls far short of delivering an adept, trustworthy documentation companion to assist with each case.
Create Allies for Your EHR Implementation
The notion that physicians, nurses and staff are too lazy or technology averse to learn an EHR is wrong. We see this misconception parroted in popular press. The anesthesia caregivers in your facility are likely the people who most avidly seek advanced technology. That these same people are resistant to your EHR project speaks volumes.Caregivers are not technology averse.

Cosalient EHR changes everything. Instead of causing conflict, your facility can implement a critical section of your EHR system and garner end user support. Imagine an entire anesthesia department so happily using their system that nurses in the operating room, preop and PACU jealously wish they too had an EHR tool. That is exactly what Cosalient EHR achieves. It is the anesthesia intraoperative EHR solution that caregivers clamor for and ask to be implemented once they see it. Simultaneously, the system interfaces with your overall EHR and helps meet your facility needs. Win/win.

HL7 Interfacing Integrates Cosalient EHR
We know your concerns regarding system integration. Your HIS department has probably tried to build custom interfaces in the past and suffered the difficulties of in-house, custom coding for proprietary API’s.
