A Letter from P'Fella
What is the 'perfect' operation note?
Dive into a crucial but often overlooked part of our surgical practice—perfecting the operation note. Let's turn this routine document into an art form of clarity and precision!
👇
Why Operation Notes Matter
An operation note isn't just routine paperwork; it's a crucial narrative that guides post-operative care and communicates important decisions. By refining our approach, we can ensure that these notes serve as effective, comprehensive guides.

What Did People on Twitter Say?
I put out a tweet during the week asking for the most important aspect to an operation note. Here were the key themes:
- Promptness: Document details on the day for maximum accuracy.
- Clear Plans: Ensure post-op plans are straightforward and executable by anyone.
- Honest Reporting: Accurately describe the OR events without embellishment.
- Optimal Detail: Aim for notes that are informative yet succinct.

Let’s elevate our standard for operation notes together. The team are building surgical technique templates and your feedback is key!
