A procedure is the entity that encapsulates an operation theater activity within the module. It is used to store the particular activity's information including:
- Procedure name
- Description
- Intervention duration (in minutes)
- Theater preparation time (in minutes)
- Required in-patient stay period after the procedure (in days).
All of these fields are required to save a new procedure. They are saved in the system both as a procedure within the module and as a concept belonging to the procedure class within the Concept dictionary.
