Change in staff anesthesiologists' opinions of an Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS).

Following introduction of an Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS) at a tertiary care, academic health sciences centre, a quality assurance initiative was conducted to assess staff opinions of the AIMS using a previously published, anonymous survey tool at 1 and 5 years following AIMS introduction. At 5 years compared to 1 year after implementation of AIMS, the majority (18 of 24, 75%) of responses to the survey questions had a statistically significant change (P < 0.05) in the proportion of respondents favoring AIMS compared to the 1 year survey.
