About

About the Procedure Log app for iPhone® and iPod touch® for documenting medical procedures.

Download on App Store

For iPhone® and iPod touch®.

Requires iOS 11.0 or newer.


This app was created for physicians, resi­dents, medical stu­dents, and other students in the healthcare fields to keep track of and docu­ment pro­ce­dures performed. The app is highly customizable and useful in all medical specialties.

Entries are securely kept in your iOS device and are not sent to any outside server, website or database, but they can be backed up to your iCloud account in an encrypted format. Reports are created and saved as a password protected PDF file (encrypted using AES-128) and a CSV (comma-separated values) file that is compressed to a ZIP file (which allows password protection and is encrypted using AES-256) to comply with HIPAA security re­quire­ments. The reports can then be emailed or accessed via iTunes and the Files app. CSV files can be imported into a spreadsheet program.

One should not rely on this app alone to keep track of their procedures and is advised to frequently backup the files created. See the Create Reports and Backup & Restore sections in the Help/In­struc­tions view of the app for information on backing up and restoring your data.

Main Features

Log Your Procedures

✔︎ Keep a log of the procedures you have per­formed, assisted in, were 2nd assist in, observed, supervised, and/or interpreted for documentation purposes.

✔︎ Document the patient's name, ID number, age, date performed, location, supervisor, diagnosis, complications and additional notes with the procedures performed. Also, one can take a photo with your device's camera or import a photo from your photos library from within the app, and include the photo in a record.

✔︎ Option to select one or multiple diagnoses from a list of either custom diagnoses or ICD-10 diagnoses for any given procedure.

Other Attributes

✔︎ Select multiple procedures per­form­ed on a single patient.

✔︎ Sort by date (ascending or de­scend­ing), patient name, procedure name, and medi­cal specialty.

✔︎ Capture supervisor's signature to attest that you performed or assisted in the pro­cedure(s) and include the signature images in your reports. Either obtain the supervisor's sig­nature attestation at the time you create the log entry, or save the entry without the signature and obtain the signature attestation at a later time.

✔︎ Detailed help/instructions section.

✔︎ Supports Dark Mode.

Customizable

✔︎ List of procedures, custom diagnoses, and complications are easily customizable (you can add procedures, diagnoses, and com­plications to or delete them from the lists). (ICD-10 diagnoses cannot be edited or deleted.)

✔︎ Entries in the Location and Super­visor fields are saved and can be selected from a picker so you don't have to type them in again when adding another log entry.

✔︎ Add up to four custom fields in addition to the default fields listed above in Log Your Procedures.

Reports

✔︎ Create reports in encrypted, password protected PDF format and as a CSV file that is encrypted and password protected in a ZIP format, as well as a password protected backup of your data, that can then be emailed, sent via AirDrop, sent to your iCloud Drive or Dropbox account, or downloaded using iTunes when your iOS device is con­nected to your computer.

✔︎ Reports can be created for a spe­cific date range, and one can specify the primary, secondary and tertiary sort order of the PDF report.

Backup

✔︎ In addition to backing up to iCloud and/or iTunes, if you have a DropBox account, you can copy the backup file containing the password protected reports and data­base to DropBox from within the Procedure Log app.

✔ You can also use the Files app to transfer files to your iCloud Drive, Dropbox account, or, if you have a Mac computer, use AirDrop to transfer it to your Mac computer.

✔ You can also email the backup file containing the password protected reports and database to yourself.

Security

✔︎ App is password protected and all data is encrypted when you log off the app or the app is no longer the active app.

✔︎ PDF and CSV reports are encrypted and password protected.

✔︎ Retrieve your username and pass­word if you have forgotten them; you must first answer several security questions in the "Create User" or the "Edit User" views.
