Operative Report Templates

Operative Report Templates are standardized templates that can be used by a physician to quickly complete the Operative Report BLOC 092 or Operative Report BLOC 161. The template is loaded in the BLOC by the physician and any desired edits can be made to the template text at that time.

 

Templates are surgeon specific but are not bound to a procedure code.

 

 

Operative Report Templates are configured in HST eChart in Admin Home.
