The Operative Log is personal to each professional. A short patient block is followed by the personal record of the procedure: who operated and with what degree of participation, the procedure and approach, and the in-hospital outcome.

Built for structured answers
Every row of the dictionary is one REDCap field. Most of them are closed choices, so data stay comparable across departments and ready for analysis.
Variables by type
Data quality by design
1
fields are mandatory: a record should not be saved without them. They are especially important for audit purposes.
24
fields use branching logic: they only appear when an earlier answer makes them relevant.
2
fields are calculated automatically from other answers, never typed by hand.
