What is the correct order for updating the Pre-Eval note?

The correct order for updating the Pre-Eval note begins with clicking on the Pre-Evaluation option, followed by updating the ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) score. This sequence is vital as it allows the clinician to accurately assess and document the patient's anesthesia risk before proceeding with any further updates or actions.

By starting with the Pre-Evaluation, the clinician ensures that they are considering all relevant information regarding the patient's health status at that moment. Updating the ASA score is particularly important because it provides a standardized way to communicate the patient's overall health and potential complications related to anesthesia, paving the way for informed clinical decisions.

Once this initial and critical information is recorded, other updates can follow, such as modifying the medication list or ultimately reviewing and signing the note. This structured approach emphasizes the importance of thorough and accurate documentation in clinical practice, ensuring patient safety and proper care processes are maintained.
