Add Surgery Codes for a Patient

From Barnestorm Office click the Patient Histories button from the Main Menu. A menu will pop up right underneath that, and from there you will select Surgery History. From Barnestorm POC you will click on Surgery History. Select the patient from the Select Patient screen.

Add Surgery History

For the Surgery Date, click on the drop-down arrow to select the date for the new surgery. Or type in the date that you desire. This will be the date of the visit to your patient, when you determined that the condition of the patient has changed. This occurs most frequently on a resumption of care after an inpatient stay.
Enter the surgery by number if you know it, or you can type a word into the description and you will get a list of all codes that contain that word.
Click the Save button and the surgery code should appear in the grid of surgery codes.
As needed, click on Add a New Surgery Code to add more surgeries. Repeat steps 4 - 7 to add another code.
