For All Surgeons
Effective Monday, July 15, new Specimen and Post-Op Diagnosis SmartList options will be added to the Brief Op Note. This change is being made to streamline your workflow.
What’s changing:
- You no longer need to create an entire new Brief Op Note or Addendum if either Diagnosis or Specimen is not documented in your initial Brief Op Note.
- With the new SmartList options, you can document Specimen or Diagnosis if not populated in the note prior to signing it.
Scenario 1:
Specimen and Post-op Diagnosis were not documented in patient’s chart. SmartList options for Specimens and Post-op Diagnosis display in the Brief Op Note.
Scenario 2:
When documented in the patient’s chart, Specimens and Post-op Diagnosis automatically populate in the Brief Op Note.
