An electronic surgical logbook enhances advanced surgical training by providing a versatile record of operative experience. This digital tool meets Royal Australasian College of Surgeons documentation requirements, improving trainee progress evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Operative experience documentation is crucial for advanced surgical training.
  • The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) uses surgical logbooks to monitor training adequacy.
  • Traditional paper-based logbooks limit longitudinal trainee progress evaluation and inter-unit comparisons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an electronic logbook system for surgical training.
  • To improve the documentation and monitoring of surgical training experiences.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an electronic logbook using FileMaker Pro version 5.03.
  • Implementation and use of the electronic logbook on Windows and Macintosh platforms.

Main Results:

  • The electronic logbook was successfully used for one year across different platforms without issues.
  • The system generated appropriate training experience summaries for the RACS at the end of each rotation.

Conclusions:

  • A relational database electronic logbook offers trainees a flexible and convenient record of their surgical experience.
  • The electronic logbook effectively fulfills RACS requirements for documenting surgical training, enhancing trainee assessment.
