Linking a Checklist to a Procedure

The Link to Procedure button allows you to link the checklist to a specific Procedure from this patient's clinical record.

Once a checklist has been linked to a Procedure it can be accessed from the Pre-Op tab of that Procedure record.

It also prints as an Operation Report. It can be unlinked by holding down the Alt key whilst clicking the Link button. If the checklist is created from within the procedure record, then it is automatically linked.

When viewing the Operation Report from the contact list in the clinical window, the contents of the checklist will be displayed by default.  To display the information stored in the Op Notes area of the procedure, CMD/CTRL+click on the procedure icon in the contact list.
