Picis Introduces Prima, Bringing Anesthesia Documentation to the Point of Care

Mobile platform gives anesthesia clinicians more flexibility to document throughout their workflow.

PEABODY, Mass., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Picis Clinical Solutions today announced Picis Prima. This mobile anesthesia documentation platform lets clinicians access patient information and document care on a connected tablet as they move through their workflow.

Anesthesia clinicians move between preoperative assessment and the operating room, yet documentation has traditionally tied them to fixed workstations. Prima brings documentation into their workflow, giving teams more flexibility to capture information where care happens. The platform is intended for clinicians who need timely access to the record, from reviewing patient details to recording care in the operating room.

"With Prima, we started with a simple question: why should clinicians have to adapt the way they work to their technology?" said Marc Lloses Padilla, Executive Vice President at Picis Clinical Solutions. "Anesthesia teams are constantly moving, and the technology they use should move with them. Prima gives clinicians the freedom to document as they move through their workflow, with the information they need available when they need it."

Designed for Mobile Anesthesia
Designed for mobility from the start, Prima supports preoperative assessment and intraoperative documentation on a tablet. Clinicians can record physiological variables, medications, fluids, anesthesia times, clinical notes, and other information while maintaining continuity across the perioperative patient record.

Prima can receive physiological information from connected monitors, ventilators, and anesthesia devices. It also supports HL7-based integration with electronic medical records, helping organizations connect anesthesia documentation with their broader clinical systems. This connection can reduce the need to handle information in separate places and support the care team.

Key capabilities include:

• Mobile documentation: Access patient information and document anesthesia care on a connected tablet.
• Anesthesia workflows: Support preoperative assessment and intraoperative documentation.
• Device connectivity: Receive physiological information from connected medical devices.
• Perioperative continuity: Keep information available across the patient's perioperative journey.
• EMR interoperability: Connect workflows through HL7-based integration.

Built Around the Clinician
For hospitals evaluating anesthesia technology, Prima offers a mobile option shaped around clinical work. It builds on Picis' experience developing systems for complex perioperative and critical care environments while giving anesthesia teams a more flexible way to document care. Its tablet interface is designed for point-of-care use, with the clinical detail teams expect from an anesthesia information management system.

Picis has spent more than 30 years developing clinical technology. Prima extends that experience to tablet-based anesthesia documentation, combining established clinical workflows with the freedom to move through care settings.
