Procedure Workflow

Clinical procedures follow a structured workflow:

2. Verify patient details and procedure information
3. Record any pre-procedure checks or observations
4. Click Start to mark the procedure as in progress
5. Document:
   • Actual start time
   • Practitioner performing the procedure
   • Any deviations from the template

Complete Procedure

1. After the procedure is finished, click Complete
2. Document:
   • Completion time
   • Procedure notes — Findings, observations, complications (if any)
   • Post-procedure instructions for the patient
   • Consumables used — Verify or adjust the items consumed
3. Submit the record to finalize it
