Function documentationEnter Preregistered Surgery Order Items

 

You preregister a patient for an outpatient or inpatient surgery. You can proceed as follows:

  • Long-term planning:

    You enter a clinical order with a preregistered order item (Preregistration indicator) for a surgery without immediately scheduling an appointment for the surgery. Instead you can set the surgery on a waiting list. You use preregistered order items for the long-term planning of surgeries and document these using the surgery monitor.

    Caution Caution

    You cannot use the surgery monitor to document the surgeries of patients who were entered with provisional patient master data.

    See Long-Term Planning Example

    End of the caution.

  • Medium-term planning:

    You enter a clinical order with a preregistered order item for a surgery with a provisional surgery appointment. You schedule the surgery appointment for a specific day (day-based planning).

    See Medium-Term Planning Example

  • Short-term planning:

    You enter a clinical order with a preregistered order item for a surgery with a provisional surgery appointment. You schedule the surgery appointment for a specific day, a specific time (time-based planning), and the operating room.

    See Short-Term Planning Example

    Note Note

    Most of the information from the preregistered order item for a surgery (including planning-relevant information) can be changed up until the start of the surgery. This is dependent on the status of the order item and the status profile which is defined for the order type.

    You can document the surgery based on a preregistered order item for a surgery as soon as the patient is identified and an appointment has been allocated for the surgery.

    End of the note.
