MALT for SET in Urology

The use of MALT is mandatory for all SET levels.

This logbook type utilises the SNOMED CT-AU reference set with Board Reporting Terms (XLSX 4.27MB) determined by the Board of Urology. From the first quarter of 2018, Trainees on a General Surgery rotation should also enter General Surgery cases into the SET - Urology logbook.

MALT uses the terms 'Nominated Supervisor' and 'Alternate Supervisor.' Supervisors can view cases for the Trainees they are supervising and provide comments on specific cases.

Nominated Supervisor: the hospital supervisor.
Alternate Supervisor: the surgeon in theatre with the Trainee during a procedure.

All supervisors must be RACS Fellows. Only one nominated supervisor can be selected per rotation.

Supervisors are not required to approve individual cases within the MALT system (see approval process below).

Record cases done in all hospitals (both accredited and unaccredited).

This logbook type utilises the SNOMED CT-AU procedure list with selected terms identified by the Board of Urology as Board Reporting Terms (XLSX 4.27MB).

The MALT Board Approved Logbook Summary Report (LSR)  will only show procedure counts for Board Reporting Terms.

The non-Board Terms Report shows procedure counts for non-Board Reporting Terms, and should be used for submission to the Training Board by those trainees on a General Surgery rotation.

Cases move through a non-supervisory workflow progression from "Draft" to "Completed".

1. Fill in and save the case (Draft).
2. Ensure all cases are marked as Complete (Completed).
3. For trainees on a General Surgery rotation, generate the non-Board Terms Report.
4. Submit the Logbook Summary Report and/or the non-Board Terms Report to the Training Board with your Quarterly Assessment Report. Note: the report should only contain 'Completed' status
