Theatre Case

import { Steps } from ‘@astrojs/starlight/components’;

Who / when: a Surgeon scheduling and running an operating-theatre case, with an Anaesthetist recording intra-op.

eSign PIN = the 6-digit code you re-enter to sign a record. FEFO = First Expire, First Out (consumables are drawn from the earliest-expiring lot first).

  1. Surgeon — open Theatre → Schedule Case (/theatre/schedule). The patient picker loads (the surgeon holds read-only patient access). Select the patient, date, time and room. A double-booking guard rejects an overlapping room/time.
  2. Surgeon — select the anaesthetist and scrub team and create the case. It appears on Theatre → Live Board (/theatre/board).
  3. Surgeon — open the case and complete the pre-op assessment (history, allergies, risk flags, findings, plan); save it.
  4. Surgeon — choose Sign record and enter your eSign PIN. The record is signed and locked (no further edits); the signature time is audited.
  5. Anaesthetist — records vitals and gases on the same case record intra-op.
  6. Surgeon — post-op, records the outcome and disposition (ward / ICU / home); the Encounter links to an admission if the patient is admitted.
  7. Surgeon — add surgical consumables (e.g. sutures, implants). These draw down from Stock by FEFO, decrementing on-hand quantity.

What happens next: the procedure fee and the consumables raise automatic billing charges. If the patient is admitted post-op, continue with the Inpatient Ward Journey.
