## Use i-scribe to generate an Operation or Procedure Report by selecting the template within a new patient consultation, dictating your findings, clicking Generate, and then copying or sending the completed report to your EMR.

### How to Use the i-Scribe Operation / Procedure Report

This guide explains how to create an Operation or Procedure Report using i-scribe, either as a default template or within an individual consultation.

#### Before You Begin

Ensure that you:

-   Have access to your i-scribe account
-   Have a new patient consultation open, either from:
    -   My Outpatient List, or
    -   My Inpatient List

```

#### Option 1: Set the Operation/Procedure Report as Your Default Template (Optional)

If you frequently create operation or procedure reports, you may wish to set this template as your default.

1.  Log in to i-scribe.
2.  Navigate to your template settings.
3.  Select Operation/Procedure Report as your default template.
4.  Save your settings.

This will automatically load the template for future consultations.

#### Option 2: Select the Operation/Procedure Report Within a Consultation

If you prefer to select the template per consult:

1.  Log in to i-scribe.
2.  Open a new patient consultation from:

    -   My Outpatient List, or
    -   My Inpatient List.

3.  Click Select Outputs.
4.  Search for and add Operation/Procedure Report.
5.  Confirm your selection.

#### Creating the Operation/Procedure Report

Once your consultation is open and the correct output template is selected:

1.  Click Start to begin dictation.
2.  Dictate your operation or procedure findings clearly.

    -   You may dictate punctuation (e.g. "full stop", "comma") if you prefer.
    -   Dictating punctuation is optional. The system will structure the report appropriately.

3.  When you have finished dictating, click Generate.

#### Finalising the Report

After clicking Generate:

-   The Operation/Procedure Report template will automatically populate with your dictated content.
-   Review the report for accuracy.
-   You can then:
    -   Copy and paste the report into your EMR, or
    -   Send/export it directly to your EMR (if integrated).

#### Tips for Best Results

-   Ensure you are in a new consultation before starting dictation.
-   Speak clearly and at a natural pace.
-   Include all relevant operative details in a logical order.
-   Review the generated document before finalising.
