OT schedule

The operating theatres' list for a day (OT scheduling add-on): each case in its theatre with the time, the length, the procedure, the patient and IP number, the surgeon and the anaesthetist, from booked to the sign-in safety checks, in theatre and done. A theatre or surgeon already busy at that time is refused.

Steps

  1. Open OT schedule and press Book a case. Type the theatre, the procedure, the patient and the IP number from the bill, the surgeon and anaesthetist, the day, the start time and the minutes it takes.
  2. Pick the day at the top to see each theatre's cases in time order, with how many of the four checks are ticked.
  3. When the patient arrives press Checks & start, tick consent signed, fasting confirmed, site marked and blood arranged, then Into theatre.
  4. Press Done when the case ends. Postpone or cancel a case that will not go ahead; a postponed case can be rebooked.

Tips

  • Back-to-back cases are fine; an overlap in the same theatre, or the same surgeon in two theatres at once, is refused.
  • Theatre use counts the booked minutes against a 12-hour day per theatre; a late start is a case begun more than 10 minutes after its slot.
  • Bill the surgery package at the hospital POS with the same IP number; no diagnosis or operative note is kept on a booking.
