Anesthesia Type Dictionary  

The Anesthesia type dictionary contains a description of the various types of anesthesia that are used in the facility. In this dictionary, you can associate a color to each type of anesthesia, and in the Preference Editor, the Scheduling Grid can be configured to display the appointments based on the color associated to the type of anesthesia selected for each scheduled case. Anesthesia type can be included on Preference Cards and is referenced in AmkaiCharts.

The Anesthesia type dictionary is a Partially Shared (Business Group) dictionary. Items entered in one Business Entity will be inactive for all other Business Entities in the Business Group. Color is also Business Entity Specific.
