The list, then the taper

aurii drafts the theatre note from what is spoken at each case, naming the eye, the anaesthetic and the lens with its power and model, and the day-one review note from the slit lamp findings and the pressures. The letters back to the optometrist and the GP draft from the same record. The surgeon signs each.

Documents from one review

Draft The operation noteThe eye, the anaesthetic, the lens with its power and model, and any departure from the routine sequence.
Draft The day-one review noteAcuity, slit lamp findings, pressure in both eyes, the drop schedule.
Draft The optometrist letterTo the referring practice: the lens, the taper, when refraction is due, what brings the patient back early.

Billing items are captured at the bedside against the episode, for your practice to claim. Billing.

Starter templates an eye list uses

An eye service works from the general starter set: the generic procedure note for theatre, the progress note for the day-one review, and the follow-up reminder for refraction.

Your letterhead and section order, set once, on every draft. The template set.

Correspondence back to the referrer

The letter to the optometrist carries the lens implanted, the taper dates and the refraction date. The GP receives the same account in shorter form. Both draft from the record and the surgeon signs both.
