Booking

From decision to theatre slot

The surgeon files a request from the chart with procedures, laterality, anaesthesia type and team. The Clinical Decisions Hub tracks it until it is booked, and Surgery Booking follows ten statuses from requested to completed, with the operated side on every booking.

Safety

Pre-op checklist and WHO Surgical Safety Checklist

A case can't move to ready until consent is signed and witnessed, the site is marked, NPO and allergies are confirmed and vitals are in. The WHO checklist runs Sign-In, Time-Out and Sign-Out, with extra items for difficult airway and expected blood loss.

Discharge & billing

Discharge summary, consumables and claims

The discharge summary builds itself from the record and prints “Not documented” rather than guessing, with an Arabic patient instructions page whose numbers and units are verified. Consumables are issued by barcode and billed once, and prior authorisations are tracked per payer.

FAQ

Day Surgery, answered

Is the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist built in?

Yes. It runs in three phases: Sign-In before induction, Time-Out before incision and Sign-Out before the patient leaves the operating room. Conditional items appear for difficult airway and blood loss over 500 mL.
