Module 09 · Theatre lists, referrals, rooms and equipment

Procedures, referrals and bookings handled on the same record as the rest of the visit.

Procedures are ordered and documented on the visit and billed through the same catalogue as everything else. Referrals are recorded whether the patient is coming in or going out. Scheduling lets the hospital book clinicians, rooms and equipment, so theatre and clinic lists are visible in one calendar.

About procedures, referrals and scheduling

Is there a dedicated theatre module?
Procedures, bookings for theatres as rooms, and procedure documentation cover theatre lists today. Anaesthesia records and theatre-specific checklists are discussed per hospital.
