How to Add a Theatre List Using the Theatre App
A Theatre List is a schedule that helps Surgeons plan and organise their booked surgical procedures. The information on a Theatre list will advise the Surgeon, who the Patient is, what procedure will be performed, the length of the procedure, the details of who will be assisting with the procedure, and the details of the Anaesthesiologist. A Theatre List is created to ensure that the Surgeon is able to coordinate their schedule accordingly.
