No difference in anaesthetic record completeness; leaves open whether system-specific refinements can enhance documentation quality.
William Wrightson (2010) conducted an observational in Anaesthesia (n=140). Electronic anaesthetic records vs. Handwritten anaesthetic records was evaluated on Total score for completeness of information (p=0.16). Electronic anaesthetic records showed no significant difference in overall completeness compared to handwritten records (78% vs 83%; P=0.16).
