Testimonials

"Surgeons need to know how important it is to collect data this way. You're not just dictating your operative report so you have something in the hospital chart – everybody’s looking at this stuff now. OpNote is how the surgical report should be created."
Deanna Attai, MD
"After a short learning curve, surgeons will find that SourcePlus OpNote is faster than dictating and far less onerous for surgeons as the repetition present in 90% of operative reports is eliminated. We now produce superior operative reports while generating additional revenue."
John Mattson, MD
"I have been able to use your program for my operative notes and so far it has been spectacular...some of my OpNotes have taken as little as 15 seconds to change one or two fields and sign out!"
David Grischkan, MD
"Surgeons are such an individual breed - but because mTuitive put this “individuality” into OpNote, where physicians can express themselves in their own words while retaining the structured data, I became convinced that this is the way to go."
H. Walter Kaess, MD
"I saw the immediate value in OpNote – in terms of the efficiency that it created for physicians, the accuracy in documentation, the ability to search and report. And to expand on the accuracy in reporting: it’s not just accuracy in the details but the accuracy in coding, which then turns into quicker and improved reimbursement assistance."
Seth Goldberg, MD
"Beyond the cost savings on a per procedure basis, the real benefit is the tremendous improvement in cash flow resulting from a more rapid billing process that is driven by a much quicker operative report process. Nothing in my experience has made such a significant, positive impact in cash flow as mTuitive's program for operative notes"
David Grischkan, MD
"I like the idea of being able to create an operative report that is complete and comprehensive in a very rapid and efficient way. I review a number of medical legal reports, both for the medical association and for various attorneys, and have been struck by the disorganization and deficiencies of non-standardized dictations. OpNote has made it easy to create a complete, standardized report generated in a rapid and intuitive manner."
John Mattson, MD
"Medical practices require a special employee to review all these reports and codes – and that’s just not cost or time effective. The delay in getting the operative reports was something we noticed – this new system will eliminate those delays."
Roger Chabra, MD
"Our physician partners are now able to complete operative notes and sign them online in a seamless, effortless manner, in a fraction of the time compared to verbal dictation. No longer do we need to chase after surgeons to complete an operative report or sign a dictation weeks after the procedure."
David Grischkan, MD

Using OpNote in Surgical Outcomes Research

Examining the Role of Surgical Objectives in Patients' Outcomes

Boston, MA - In the latest Becker's Hospital Site Review, readers can find a great piece by Dr. Jared Ament that asks if surgical objectives are important enough to document?

Dr. Ament used mTuitive OpNote as an example of an electronic way to easily and effectively capture important information for outcomes measurement and surgical research. But, Dr. Ament asks, should the original surgical objectives of those procedures be included in that research? What insight can be gained from comparing the objective with the outcome? What harm could come from documenting the original intent?

Dr. Ament, writing about comparing treatment options and studying surgical outcomes, states that

The happenings of the operating room can no longer parallel that of a secret society: we ought to compare patient quality of life indices (pre- and post-operatively) to surgeons' perspectives, successes, failures and/or compromises that occur in the operating room. Were the predetermined operative objective(s) achieved? Are qualitative and quantitative scales available to determine if aspects of the operations, successes and/or failures, affect outcome?"
