Case Viewer Overview
The MPOG Case Viewer application displays individual case data in a standardized
way, similar to an anesthesia information management system (AIMS) but agnostic
to the electronic health record used by the participating site.

• Arrows appear along the bottom of the left-hand column
to scroll between cases.
• If a case number is known (ex: you want to go to case 50
of 100), use the text field to input that number and go to
the desired case.
• When scrolling through cases using this feature, any
‘Sections’ opened in the case view (see ‘Sections’
slide) will remain open for each case

additional filters (like date, and surgical service) when
searching by concept IDs

minutes later.
Definitions:
• Infusion: If the administered unit is mapped to a concept
that is over time (i.e., mcg/kg/min).
