Abstract

Operation notes are essential documents in the surgical journey of a patient. Despite being essential, it is left to be written by surgical residents. The Royal College of Surgeons guidance, Good Clinical Practice, with its most recent version in 2014, dictates that surgeons must ensure that all medical records are accurate, comprehensive, legible, and contemporaneous. Improving the quality of operation notes automatically improves communication among healthcare workers and helps prevent errors and litigations.
