While the medical industry has been slower than most other industries to computerize, there are currently several types of anesthesia and Operating Room (OR) software providers. They include:

Device Vendors – These are generally large multinational companies that provide devices such as anesthesia machines and monitors. They offer anesthesia software and some Operating Room (OR) software, but their main focus is on selling their medical devices.

HIS Vendors – Healthcare Information vendors provide software products for hospital and health systems.  Some offer anesthesia and OR software as a small component of their systems. If included, product development for anesthesia application is limited.

OR Suite Vendors – These smaller companies provide software products for the operating room, with anesthesia as a module of their suite. It is economically difficult for them to offer anesthesia software alone, and expensive proprietary hardware and infrastructure is often required.

rapid sEquence™ is superior to all the other alternatives. Our anesthesia software is more specialized and flexible. And it's provided free of charge to our billing clients.

Judging from feedback, these two differences are especially appreciated by anesthesia providers:

Ease-of-use – Unlike most other alternatives rapid sEquence was created by developers with a strong background in the healthcare industry. The software is very focused, with no unnecessary pop-up windows or commands. New users often comment how quickly they gain mastery of the program.

A minimal amount of instruction is provided prior to actual OR procedures. Our training staff will then work alongside providers for (typically) two of their cases. After two procedures, users gain the necessary proficiency to run the program independently!

Affordability – Other anesthesia software alternatives typically cost $50,000-$70,000 per operating room, or more. If you are a Liberty Professional Billing client, the rapid sEquence software is absolutely free. Providers who are not clients of Liberty's billing service will find the pricing of rapid sEquence very attractive—about one-third of the cost of other options, with hardware included.
