What can pytiva do?

• Extract data after export from an electronic health record system
• Define and extract anesthesia activities using intra-operative events or the administration of medications
• Unduplicate these activities by any strata of interest, such as patient or case ID number
• Determine total concurrent activities, including aggregating by day and time
• Visualization of so-called gantt charts and heat maps of activity, as below

Examples of visualizations
