Anesthesia-specific ICD-10 Documentation Application

Unlike other apps in the industry that are not specialty-specific, F1RSTCode assists anesthesia providers in understanding documentation requirements without burdening them by requiring a search through the entire ICD-10 code sequence. With the changes in place under ICD-10, this unique tool will help clarify those tricky questions about how much detail to include in the diagnosis so coders may determine a specific, acceptable and appropriate code.

In a very logical and intuitive way, F1RSTCode takes you from the surgical procedure through the logic of ICD-10.

Charting is fast and efficient, with purpose built screens and documentation macros for pre-operative, anesthesia, and post-operative records, there is no need to "hunt and peck" to find or document information.

Electronic Anesthesia Record Documentation with iOS or Windows

The Anesthesia Touch solution is available as both a Windows application and an iOS (iPad) app—choose either or both. The mobility of a hybrid or tablet solution is a strong complement to anesthesia workflow, as anesthesiologists provide care in many physical locations. Clinicians can document on one platform and return to the case on another based on what's available near the patient.

Anesthesia Touch leverages the simplicity of deploying and supporting on both platforms, from one-click application installs, to server side configuration and automatic updates. Anesthesia Touch truly has the simplicity of an app.
