As perioperative informatics management systems (PIMS) have been increasingly adopted and implemented by many healthcare facilities, attention is now being directed towards the ongoing maintenance and governance of PIMS. This attention is also necessary to align PIMS to the Triple aim recommendations developed by the institute for healthcare improvement. The triple aim recommendations include improving the patient experience of care (including quality and satisfaction); Improving the health of populations; and Reducing the per capita cost of health care. This presentation will provide information and best practices regarding maintenance and governance of PIMS with special emphasis on developing a checklist of key goals. Discussion topics will include upgrades, change requests, unintended consequences of bad change management or poor communication, and ongoing provider education issues. Author will also provide an review of best practices of Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) implementation, address the structure of PIMS, typical timelines and resource allocation systems as well as including PIMS in quality of care development.
