Logbooks
The Logbooks application has been restored and its new
version will be released in July.
A secure web-enabled application has been designed and is now available
to facilitate logbook data entry by surgical Trainees. Features will
include automatic generation of mandatory reports required by
supervisors, Specialty Boards and the RACS.
- Trainees will directly communicate with their supervisors through
the application for approval of their logbooks.
- Trainees will have the choice of remaining with their current
logbook system, exporting their data into the new system or entering
data directly.
- Further development will expand the application to include
practising Fellows to facilitate life-long audit of surgical cases.
The web logbook contains a common dataset for all specialties, as
well as specialty specific variables. To promote data consistency in the
recording of procedures, a revised approach has been implemented to
include the Line Entry (as per individual specialty), as well as the
more comprehensive Commonwealth Medicare Benefits Schedule (CMBS)
descriptors.
The web logbook:
- provides Trainees with immediate feedback regarding training
goals
- facilitates communication between Trainees and supervisors using
technology such as SMS or email
- allows training boards and the College to better track the progress
of their Trainees.
