Keeping on top of all the things you need to collate before a patient's procedure can be difficult. To save you time and energy, Genie has an in-built system called a Pre-Op Notifications Check, which will give you an overview of what has been confirmed for your upcoming procedures.
Before you begin
The information in the Pre-Op Notification Check is based on your existing Procedure Record. If you aren't familiar with the Procedure Record section of Genie, you may wish to first review our article on Adding Procedure Records

The Pre-Op Notifications Check can be accessed from the Appointment Book screen by navigating to Appt > Pre-Op Notifications Check.
