Surgical History of Patients

You can document a patient's surgical history and orthopedic surgical history.

You can use the following sections on the Intake template to document and view the surgical procedures performed for the patient.

• Orthopedic Surgical History. You can document and view the orthopedic-specific procedures performed for the patient.
• Surgical History. You can document and view all other surgical procedures performed for the patient.

These sections are shared with several templates of the NextGen® Orthopedic Suite, and the grids in these sections display the date of surgery, global date, side, and description. The grids are sorted by DOS column, and the date of surgery can be entered in the MM/DD/YYYY, MM/YYYY, or YYYY formats. To enter a global date, the date of surgery must be in the MM/DD/YYYY format.

The Orthopedic Surgical History and Surgical History sections display the details from the appropriate templates in the core and NextGen® Orthopedic Suite.
