Surgery and Operation Theatre Management
Manage the complete surgical workflow from pre-operative assessments through operation theatre scheduling to post-operative care. Coordinate surgical teams, track anesthesia records, classify wounds, and monitor patient recovery within a single integrated system.
Surgical Workflow
Complete Surgical Workflow from Pre-Op to Post-Op
oeHealth covers the entire surgical journey: pre-operative assessments using standardized scoring systems (ASA, Mallampati, RCRI), surgical team assembly, OT booking, intra-operative documentation, and structured post-operative care plans.
Pre-operative risk assessment with ASA, Mallampati, and RCRI scoring
Surgical team assembly with role assignments for each procedure
Operation theatre scheduling with conflict detection
Anesthesia records with drug dosages and monitoring parameters
Post-operative care plans with recovery tracking and discharge criteria
Pre-Op Assessment
Conduct standardized pre-operative evaluations using ASA physical status, Mallampati airway classification, and RCRI cardiac risk index scoring systems.
Surgical Team
Assemble and manage surgical teams by assigning surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and assistants to each procedure with role-based responsibilities.
OT Scheduling
Book operation theatres with real-time availability views, estimated procedure durations, equipment requirements, and automatic conflict detection.
Detailed Surgical Documentation Features
Standardized clinical scoring, supply tracking, and comprehensive documentation tools for every stage of the surgical process.
ASA Classification
Record the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification for each surgical patient to assess anesthesia risk.
- ASA I through ASA VI classifications
- Emergency modifier support
- Historical classification tracking
Mallampati Score
Document the Mallampati airway classification to predict intubation difficulty and guide anesthesia planning for each patient.
- Class I through Class IV scoring
- Airway assessment documentation
- Intubation difficulty prediction
Wound Classification
Classify surgical wounds using the standard CDC wound classification system to document infection risk and guide post-operative care.
- Clean, clean-contaminated, contaminated, dirty
- Infection risk documentation
- Post-op wound monitoring
Supply Tracking
Track surgical supplies, implants, and consumables used during each procedure with lot numbers and expiration dates for full traceability.
- Per-procedure supply consumption
- Implant serial number tracking
- Inventory deduction automation
Anesthesia Records
Document anesthesia type, agents used, dosages, vital signs monitoring, and any adverse reactions during the surgical procedure.
- General, regional, and local anesthesia types
- Drug dosage and timing records
- Intra-operative vital sign logging
Post-Op Notes
Create structured post-operative notes with findings, complications, drain placement, and recovery milestones for continuity of care.
- Operative findings documentation
- Complication and drain tracking
- Recovery milestone checklists

Compare how oeHealth's surgical module improves efficiency and documentation quality over traditional methods.
| Workflow | With oeHealth | Without oeHealth |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-operative assessment | Standardized ASA, Mallampati, and RCRI scoring in digital forms | Paper-based assessments with inconsistent documentation |
| Surgical team coordination | Role-based team assignment with availability checking | Phone calls and manual scheduling boards |
| OT booking | Real-time OT calendar with conflict detection | Manual logbook entries with risk of double-booking |
| Anesthesia documentation | Structured digital records with drug dosages and vital signs | Handwritten anesthesia charts prone to illegibility |
| Surgical supply tracking | Automatic inventory deduction with lot and serial tracking | Manual stock counts and paper requisition forms |
| Wound classification | Standardized CDC classification linked to patient record | Inconsistent free-text wound descriptions |
| Post-operative care | Structured care plans with recovery milestone tracking | Verbal handoffs and unstructured nursing notes |
| Surgical outcome reporting | Automated reports on volumes, complications, and outcomes | Manual data collection for periodic statistical reviews |
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the oeHealth Surgery and Operation Theatre module.
Which pre-operative scoring systems are supported?
oeHealth supports the ASA Physical Status Classification, Mallampati Airway Classification (Class I-IV), and the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI). Each scoring system is integrated into the pre-operative assessment form with automatic risk level calculation.
How does OT scheduling handle conflicts and overlaps?
The OT scheduling system displays real-time availability for each operation theatre. When booking a surgery, the system checks for time conflicts with existing bookings and alerts the user if an overlap is detected. It also verifies surgeon and anesthesiologist availability for the selected time slot.
Can I track surgical supplies and implants per procedure?
Yes. Each surgery record includes a supplies section where you can document all materials, consumables, and implants used. Items are linked to inventory with lot and serial number tracking, and stock levels are automatically updated when supplies are consumed.
How are surgical team roles managed?
Each surgery record includes a team composition section where you assign staff members to specific roles such as primary surgeon, assistant surgeon, anesthesiologist, scrub nurse, and circulating nurse. Team members are selected from the staff directory with their qualifications and availability verified.
Is post-operative care tracking included?
Yes. The module includes post-operative care plans with structured fields for recovery milestones, pain management protocols, wound care instructions, drain monitoring, and discharge criteria. Nursing staff can update recovery progress directly in the system.
