Article Synopsis
- Surgical operative notes at Dongola Teaching Hospital in Sudan were found to have significant quality issues, prompting a study aimed at improving documentation practices based on Royal College of Surgeons standards.
- A retrospective audit showed that only 50.3% of surgical notes adhered to these standards, leading to the introduction of a standardized template and training for surgeons, resulting in improved adherence to 71.9%.
- Despite the overall improvement, challenges remain in specific areas, such as postoperative care instructions, which dropped from 100% to 90%, indicating the need for ongoing efforts to sustain documentation quality.
