## What is Procedure Log?

View demo videos on the app's website at http://goo.gl/ZRC8gt

This app was created for physicians, residents, medical students, and other students in the healthcare fields to keep track of and document procedures performed. The app is highly customizable and useful in all medical specialties.

Entries are securely kept in your iOS device and are not sent to any outside server, website or database. Reports are created and saved as a password protected PDF file (encrypted using AES-128) and a CSV (comma-separated values) file that is compressed to a ZIP file (which allows password protection and is encrypted using AES-256) to comply with HIPAA security requirements. The reports can then be emailed, accessed via iTunes and the Files app, sent using AirDrop, or copied to your iCloud Drive or DropBox. CSV files can be imported into a spreadsheet program.

One should not rely on this app alone to keep track of their procedures and is advised to frequently backup the files created. Information on backing up and restoring your data is included in the app's Help/Instructions view.

FEATURES
• Keep a log of the procedures you have performed, assisted in, were 2nd assist in, observed, supervised, and/or interpreted for documentation purposes.
• Document the patient's name, ID number, age, date performed, location, supervisor, diagnosis, complications and additional notes with the procedures performed. Also, one can take a photo with your device's camera or import a photo from your photos library from within the app, and include the photo in a record.
• Option to select one or multiple diagnoses from a list of either custom diagnoses or ICD-10 diagnoses for any given procedure.
• Select multiple procedures performed on a single patient.
• Sort by date (ascending or descending), patient name, procedure name, medical specialty, and location/facility.
• Capture supervisor's signature to attest that you performed or assisted in the pro­cedure(s) and include the signature ima­ges in your reports. Either obtain the supervisor's signature attestation at the time you create the log entry, or save the entry without the signature and obtain the signature attestation at a later time.
• Detailed help/instructions section.

CUSTOMIZABLE
• List of procedures, favorite diagnoses, and complications are easily customizable (you can add procedures/diagnoses/complications to or delete them from the lists). (ICD-10 diagnoses cannot be edited or deleted.)
• Locations and Supervisor's names are saved and can be selected from a picker so you don't have to type them in again when adding another log entry.
• Add up to four custom fields in addition to the default fields listed above in Features.

REPORTS
• Create reports in password protected PDF format and as a CSV file that is password protected in a ZIP format, as well as a password protected backup of your data, that can then be emailed, sent via AirDrop, sent to your iCloud Drive or Dropbox account, or downloaded using iTunes when your iOS device is con­nected to your computer.
• Reports can be created for a specific date range, location/facility, and one can specify the primary, secondary and tertiary sort order of the PDF report.

BACKUP
• In addition to backing up to iCloud and/or iTunes, if you have a DropBox account, you can copy the password protected backup file and reports to DropBox from within the Procedure Log app. 
• You can also use the Files app to transfer files to your iCloud Drive, Dropbox account, or, if you have a Mac computer, use AirDrop to transfer it to your Mac computer.
• You can also email the password protected backup file to yourself.

SECURITY
• App is password protected and all data is encrypted when you log off the app or the app is no longer the active app.
• PDF and CSV reports are encrypted and password protected.
• Retrieve your username and password if you have forgotten them; you must first answer several security questions in the "Create User" or the "Edit User" views.

### 2/5 — Poor camera

*2026-03-07*

Camera doesn’t work and is useless, I’m unable to scan barcodes

**Developer response:** I'm sorry that you're not able to use the barcode scanner. The app uses your phone's camera to scan the code, and the barcode must be in focus for the scanner to be able to read it. Additionally, as stated in the scanner's help section, the barcode scanner may not be able to "read" medical barcodes due to some having a security code embedded within it that prevents off-the-shelf scanners from being able to read them.

Addendum: a new version of the app (v4.5.0) is now available that improves the barcode scanner by enabling zooming in and out by spreading fingers apart or pinching them on the screen, also tap to focus if needed, and will use the iPhone's macro lens (on iPhone Pro models) which has a shorter focal length, so the camera can be closer to the barcode to focus on it.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-01-03*

Easy interface. Takes very little time to update. Editable to my specialty. Happy with the product so far.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the positive review and glad you're happy with the app!

### 1/5 — Lost data ... three times!

*2020-08-26*

This app is terrible!  I have lost data three times, including over 400 procedure records.  Shame on me for continuing to use it again and again.  I did like the format and ease of entry, plus the PDF reports are nice.  But every time I go to log in again after a period of not using it, all my data is gone again.  Not worth it, especially if you need a reliable way to record your procedures, such as for hospital credentialing.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2020-07-17*

Great app. Does what it says it will do.
Having to enter a password every time you want to use the app is annoying - please incorporate a save password feature

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review and glad you like the app! Regarding the need to enter a password every time, one can set the app to use Touch ID or Face ID so that one doesn't have to type in the password each time one logs in (in the app's settings). A password is needed to protect patient privacy and to abide by patient privacy laws. Having a "save password" feature would defeat the purpose of protecting the data with a password, since anyone that might get access to your iOS device could then log in to the app if that feature was implemented.

### 1/5 — BEWARE OF THIS APP!

*2020-01-22*

Lost all my procedure data without explanation!

### 5/5 — Great app, except for the color.

*2019-09-24*

Great app to track your procedures, with what seems like good security.  I wish you could change the color though.

### 1/5 — Lost all my procedures/data

*2019-09-11*

I started using this app to log my procedures and stopped recording them manually. To my dismay, I went to pull up my procedures and all have been erased.  I tried to recover over 60 procedures but to no avail. Although the use of this app was easy I lost all of my data and not able to retrieve despite all efforts.  For this reason I am giving this app a 1.

### 1/5 — Help?

*2019-03-26*

I can’t get this app to work at all. If I touch the “specialty “ tab it crashes. No preloaded procedures. Help?

**Developer response:** I'd be happy to help; please send me an email or use the contact form at the app's website: rmk-iosapps.com. If one has problems with an app, it is best to contact the developer directly to get help. In the Procedure Log app, one can find the contact details in the Info > Contact section.

Since you haven't contacted me directly, I have no way of getting more information from you or responding directly to you. Since you state that there are no preloaded procedures, it sounds like there was a problem with the download of the app. I would recommend to delete the app, reboot your iPhone, then reinstall the app. That should fix your issue.

### 5/5 — Great technical support

*2019-01-14*

I had initially rated the App based on my frustration of a bug that was fixed immediately over the weekend. 

I apologize of my initial rating and I would like to change the rating to a 5 star. This App is the best one out there for residence and fellows to stay on top of their logs. I will recommend this to my fellowship program.

**Developer response:** Thanks for updating your rating and review, and glad you like the app. Best wishes to you in your fellowship!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2018-12-10*

I love being able to save my procedures like this.  Unfortunately, I’m concerned that if this phone breaks, I’ll have no way of retrieving the information and putting it all on a new device.  It appears my only option would be to constantly download the file and then reenter everything manually?  Not good.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. I'm not sure I understand your concern, though. If you have your phone automatically backup to iCloud, the information that is stored within the app is backed up and can be restored onto a new device from iCloud. There's also a feature within the app that allows one to manually backup to your computer. Any backup saved to your computer can be easily transferred to the phone using either the iOS Files app or iTunes. The only information not backed up is the username and password, since that is stored in a separate, secure area of the phone; so one would have to create a new user when getting a new iPhone, using the same password to log in to the app as in the old iPhone.

Update (1/18/2019): as of version 3.7 of the app, the username and password are also backed up to iCloud in an encrypted format, so restoring your information from an iCloud backup to a new device should be a seamless process.

• If using a custom field with a picker to add selections, the app will now automatically place a semicolon between the selections.
• When creating the PDF report, the level of participation (performed, assisted, etc.) will display in the row after the procedure name, aligned to the right, in the same row as the specialty name. This prevents long procedure names from writing over the level of participation.

To change the specialty name, go to Settings > Edit Specialty/Procedure, tap the "Edit" button at the top, then tap the "Rename this Specialty" button in the appropriate specialty section header.
