Development of an Obstetric Anesthesia Chart using the Digital Pen and Paper in a Low Resource Setting: A Prospective Interventional Study
Keywords:
Abstract
Background: The anesthetic chart is an essential part of the medical record, with the electronic chart being the gold standard. The digital pen and paper system (DPPS) may be a potential bridge between expensive electronic data systems and traditional pen and paper, especially in low-resource settings. The aims of this study were to revise current anesthesia charts for the obstetric population and determine whether use of the digital pen and paper system would lead to improved documentation. Methods: The study was conducted at two large obstetric units in Zimbabwe. Retrospective audit of obstetric anaesthesia chart completeness using ANZCA PS06 scoring system was carried out prior to the study. The study design was prospective interventional study.
