Standardised pre-op checklists
Each procedure type has its own checklist, so readiness requirements don't depend on who's coordinating that day.
New: India's DPDP Act requires all healthcare providers to be compliant by May 2027. See how Prodoc helps.
Pre-operative Care
Patients arrive surgery-ready, not rescheduled.
Bring consent, fitness clearance, fasting instructions, investigations, and readiness checks into one trackable workflow, so teams can identify what is pending before it becomes a surgical delay. This aligns with Prodoc’s IPD positioning around pre-op preparation and fewer surgical delays.

checklists completed ahead of schedule
A surgery gets delayed or cancelled for reasons that were knowable days in advance.
Readiness is confirmed by phone call, not by record.
Anaesthesia, surgery, and nursing each check their own piece, and the full picture only comes together the morning of the procedure.
Instructions depend on the patient remembering them.
Fasting windows, medication holds, and pre-op prep are explained once, with no systematic way to confirm they were actually followed.
Missing paperwork surfaces at the worst time.
An incomplete consent form or a missing fitness clearance is discovered at the OT door, not the day before.
A cancelled slot is a lost slot.
When a case is postponed for an avoidable reason, that OT time is gone, not just delayed.

CompleteReadiness tracked as one connected checklist, not scattered calls.
Cross-department readiness tracking
Anaesthesia, surgery, and nursing confirmations all roll up to one view of whether a specific patient is actually ready.
Patient instruction and reminders
Fasting windows, medication holds, and pre-op prep instructions reach the patient automatically, in the language and channel they're comfortable with.
Consent and documentation tracking
Consent forms and required clearances are tracked to completion, so a gap is visible before the day of the procedure.
Catch readiness gaps before they become surgical delays.

visibility into readiness gaps
01
Fewer same-day cancellations
Readiness gaps surface days ahead, instead of at the OT door.
02
More predictable OT scheduling
Surgical schedules hold, because the things that commonly cause delay are tracked systematically.
03
Less cross-department chasing
Anaesthesia, surgery, and nursing see the same readiness picture, instead of confirming their own piece in isolation.
Frequently asked questions
No. It tracks pre-op readiness against your existing surgical schedule, rather than replacing the scheduling system itself.
A surgery shouldn't get cancelled for a reason you could have caught days ago.
