Cellma Anesthesia EMR for Integrated Theatre Services

Modern theatre services operate under intense pressure, rising surgical demand, workforce constraints, and strict targets under the NHS England elective recovery plan. In this environment, a robust anesthesia EMR is no longer optional. It is foundational to ensuring theatre safety, reducing delays, and delivering consistent, high-quality care.

 

Cellma provides a fully interoperable anesthesia EHR platform that connects anesthetists, surgeons, theatre nurses, recovery teams, and ICU services within a single digital ecosystem. Not only is it digitally structured, but each step of the pre-operative assessment and the post-operative care process has been designed to meet all applicable requirements set forth by CQC and NHS Digital, ensuring accurate and compliant documentation.

 

Cellma seamlessly integrates with NHS Spine, GP Connect, PAS systems and laboratory systems, thereby providing clinicians with the ability to access real-time information relating to anaesthetic records for patients throughout the entire care continuum. Clinicians now have the ability to make informed decisions based on the latest data so as to provide the safest form of care for their patients, ultimately producing better patient outcomes.
