Question
What progress is being made to update ICT support for anesthetists?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
Anaesthetists, like all clinicians, have access to the Welsh Clinical Portal (WCP) and can use it to view health records and diagnostics and update a patient's digital health record, but there is no specific data capture for pre-operative assessments.
Swansea Bay University Health Board has a locally-developed electronic pre-op assessment solution, which its clinical staff are trained to use.
