Signature on surgery transcription - Sunny


Posted: Jan 25, 2010

When one surgeon operates and the assisting surgeon dictates the report, who signs the operative note?

At my hospital, the surgeon would sign. We type the surgeon's - Olive

[ In Reply To ..]
name at the signature line and under that we type Dictated By: Name of assistant.
