Consent form signed. Op note still has to get written — twice.
Notat listens through the consultation and the theatre narration and drafts both the pre-op consult and the operative note precisely, so nothing about the procedure is reconstructed from memory afterward.
14-day Pro trial. Credit card required. No setup.
Pre-op consult for an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy
A straightforward surgical consult: history, exam, risks, and consent, the day before an elective procedure. You work through it the way every pre-op visit goes.
Thursday, 08:40
Patient
“The pain’s been coming and going for months, worse after fatty food. I just want it sorted.”
You
“Any fevers, jaundice, or pain that hasn’t settled? We’ll go over the risks of the keyhole procedure now.”
Patient
“No fevers. I understand the risks — bleeding, infection, and the small chance of converting to open. I’m ready.”
While you consulted, Notat pulled out:
History, consent, and plan, structured together — not one long transcript.
History
· Recurrent biliary colic, several months
· Worse with fatty food, no fever or jaundice
Exam
· Abdomen soft, mild RUQ tenderness
· No peritonism
Consent
· Risks discussed: bleeding, infection, conversion to open
· Patient consents, understands risks
Plan
· Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, elective, tomorrow AM list
Surgical consultation note — drafted
HPI
Recurrent biliary colic ×several months, postprandial, worse with fatty food. No fever, jaundice, or peritonism.
Exam
Abdomen soft, mild RUQ tenderness on palpation. No rebound or guarding.
Assessment
Symptomatic cholelithiasis (K80.20), candidate for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Plan
Consent obtained: risks of bleeding, infection, and conversion to open discussed and understood. Booked elective lap chole, tomorrow AM list.
Consent discussion documented word for word, not reconstructed from memory if it’s ever questioned later.
FactsContext™ documents consent exactly as discussed, not as remembered
A surgical note is only as good as its record of what was actually discussed and decided. Notat's FactsContext™ engine extracts history, exam findings, and the consent conversation as separate structured facts first — then writes the note from those facts, not a general recollection of the visit.
Consent captured precisely
FactsContext™ extracts exactly which risks were discussed and what the patient understood — not a generic consent line.
Every fact has a source
Tap any line in the note to see the exact moment it came from. Verifying takes seconds, even weeks later.
You sign, not Notat
Nothing enters the record until you review it. Operative decisions and consent stay entirely accountable to you.
A full list of consults and cases, zero op notes written from memory
This is what a surgical day looks like when documentation keeps pace with the theatre list.
08:00
Pre-op clinic starts
You tap record for each consult. Consent conversations captured precisely, not summarized after.
08:40
Lap chole consult, consented
The note is drafted with history, exam, and the exact consent discussion before the patient leaves.
11:00
First case of the list
Narrate findings and steps as you operate — the operative note builds itself in the background.
16:00
Last case closed
Every consult and operative note drafted. Nothing left for a dictation queue at day’s end.
16:30
You go home
No stack of op notes to dictate from memory after a full list. Tomorrow starts clean.
Informed consent only works if the patient actually understood it
A patient discusses the risks of surgery in Spanish, wanting to be sure before signing. Notat captures 90+ spoken languages and drafts the consult note in the language your record runs on.

Questions clinicians actually ask
Does it document the consent conversation precisely, not just that consent happened?
Yes — FactsContext™ extracts exactly which risks were discussed and what the patient said they understood, not a generic "risks discussed and consented" line.
Can it capture an operative note while I narrate during the procedure?
Yes. Narrate indication, technique, and findings as you operate, the way you'd explain to a trainee, and Notat structures it into the operative note.
What if it mishears a finding during a noisy theatre?
Every finding links back to the exact moment you said it, so a misheard detail takes seconds to catch and correct before you sign.
Where does the recording go, especially for sensitive consent discussions?
Notat is built in Europe for European privacy rules — encrypted, processed under European data-protection law, retention you control.
Does it work for both pre-op consults and post-op reviews?
Yes — consultation notes, operative notes, post-op progress notes, and discharge summaries all draft the same way.
