Description

The Operative Dictation series, designed by surgeons for surgeons, provides the essential verbal terminology necessary to craft a superior operative dictation note. Each section details multiple common procedures, providing templates including patient history, physical examination, surgical risks, and a fully customizable procedural description. Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are included with each operative note allowing the novice surgeon to become a verbally-skilled surgeon, well versed in CPT code application.

Practice makes perfect. By rehearsing your operation in a well-structured, systematic and cohesive fashion, you will increase your operative efficiency and streamline your medico-legal sustaining terminology.


Read what researchers are saying about operative dictation templates:

“Obstetrics and gynecology residency programs rarely have a structured curriculum for teaching operative dictation...” Menzin, A. W., Spitzer, M. (2003). Journal of Reproductive Medicine, 48, 850-2.

“The operative dictation template can significantly improve resident comfort level with dictation…” Gillman, L. M., Vergis, A., Park, J., Minor, S., & Taylor, M. (2010). Structured operative reporting: a randomized trial using dictation templates to improve operative reporting. The American Journal of Surgery, 199, 846-850.

“The adoption of these methods [standardized dictation templates] into routine use will be needed to allow for wide scale quality assessment and improvement for surgical practices.”
Parikh, J. A., Yermilov, I., Jain, S., McGory, M. L., Ko, C. Y., & Maggard, M. A. (2007). How Much Do Standardized Forms Improve the Documentation of Quality of Care? Journal of Surgical Research, 143, 158-163.

“There appears to be a marked deficiency in resident training in operative dictation nationwide.” Gillman, L. M., Vergis, A., Hardy, K., Park, Jason., & Taylor, M. (2010). Canadian Journal of Surgery, 53, 246-250.
