Pre-Anesthetic Medication Automation for Anesthesiologists

Let your AI agent handle medication selection, interaction checks, and documentation—so you can focus on patient safety and clinical decisions, not endless admin.

As an anesthesiologist, you spend hours in Epic or Cerner combing through patient histories, protocols, and drug databases. Every order means double-checking allergies, updating records, and filling forms. The paperwork and manual entry take over your mornings, leaving less time for patient care and critical thinking.

An AI agent that automates pre-anesthetic medication selection, risk checks, and documentation for anesthesiologists using Epic, Cerner, or Meditech.

What this replaces

Extract patient history from Epic for med selection
Manually enter medication orders into Cerner
Cross-check drug interactions using Lexicomp
Update medication administration records in Meditech
Flag protocol deviations before finalizing in the EHR

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In hospital anesthesia departments, anesthesiologists lose significant time each week manually reviewing patient charts in Epic, selecting pre-anesthetic medications, and documenting every order in the EHR. This repetitive process—often done before surgeries—requires constant cross-checking of allergies and interactions using Lexicomp or Micromedex. The result is hours lost to admin, increasing the risk of missing a critical detail and delaying case starts.
