Log the operation by its code, and get the credit right.
Log a surgical case by procedure code in the minute after the operation. Capnolog keeps lead and senior credit apart, the way ACGME's own report prints them. Sharing a logged case with the co-resident who scrubbed in is in development, neurosurgery first.
Logged on the walk out of the room
Available
Say the operation or type the shorthand you already use. Capnolog offers the procedure codes that match, and you pick yours.
Voice or thumbs, one field
Available
The mic writes into the same field the keyboard fills. You review what landed before anything is logged.
Your usual operations, saved
Available
Save the ACDF or the shunt revision you do every week, and start the next one from the saved pattern.
Save now, settle the codes later
Available
A case saved before the procedure is picked stays incomplete instead of counting on a guess.
Scrubbed in together? Log the case once.
In development
One resident logs the case and shares the case with the co-resident who scrubbed in. The co-resident reviews a draft and adds the case to their own log, with their own role.
Only the outline of the case travels: the date, the site, the attending, the procedure codes, and the roles. No patient name, record number, age, or note leaves the phone, and only that co-resident can open the case.
Shared case logging is in development, neurosurgery first, and switched off on every phone today.
1
Tap Share on the case
On a case you logged, tap Share with a co-resident.
2
Pick who scrubbed in
The list holds only co-residents in your ACGME program who use Capnolog. You suggest their role, and they confirm or change the role.
3
They review a draft
The draft counts nowhere until they add the case. A shared case has one lead, so two people cannot both log lead.
4
Already logged? Link the two
If the case is already in their log, they choose Link these, Keep both, or Review later. Nothing merges by itself.
5
Added, or declined
Adding puts the case in their log, where the case counts. Declining adds nothing, and you learn only that they declined.
Later edits are explicit: you tap Send edits, and they apply or dismiss the changes. A received case cannot be shared again, and no link ever carries a case.
Type “L4-5 TLIF” or the code itself. Each match names the ACGME category the code files under, so the category is settled when you log, not in June.
The EVD at 2 a.m. counts too
Available
Log an EVD, an arterial line, or a lumbar drain by itself, with no case to invent. The entry counts toward the procedure's own category.
Lead and senior credit, kept apart
Available
Every defined category carries two bars, one for lead and one for lead plus senior, the way ACGME's own minimum report prints them. You set your role when you log, so nobody rebuilds a role from memory months later.
When the case goes to ACGME
In private beta
The Capnolog browser extension fills ACGME's case-entry form one case at a time, in Chrome or Edge. You read every field and press Submit yourself.
The extension works on the ACGME site you signed in to yourself, and holds no ACGME password.
Anesthesiology files this way today. The neurosurgery profile is in the private beta with the rest of the app.
One case credits its category, its section total, and the grand total at once. Where ACGME publishes no minimum, you see a running count instead of an invented bar.
Once your block schedule is written down, a category you have not rotated through yet reads as not started rather than behind.
Verify official requirements with your program. A met row in Capnolog is your own tally of your own log.
Paste a billing extract, an OR log, or your own list, or import the PDF of a printed patient list. Capnolog reads the file on the phone into drafts you review one at a time.
Codes become categories
Available
Procedure codes on the sheet resolve into the categories they count toward. A row Capnolog cannot read is named, never guessed at.
Nothing lands twice
Available
Rows that match cases already in your log are marked instead of landing a second time.
Your own material only
Available
Capnolog does not connect to a hospital record system. Names, MRNs, and dates of birth are left out of everything read.
