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.

Your residency case log ended the day you graduated. Everything since — as an attending, a locum, an NP or PA — is yours to document. And every new hospital, every privileging renewal, every FPPE review asks the same thing: how many, how recently, and who signed off. No system tracks that. ProcVault does. Supervisors sign on your phone at the bedside, it stays on your device, and it goes where you go. For attendings credentialing at a new hospital, locums clinicians who privilege repeatedly, NPs and PAs asked for numbers, nurses keeping their own competency proof, and residents who want a copy that outlasts the program's software. SIGN-OFFS AT THE BEDSIDE, NOT WEEKS LATER • Add the supervising clinician to any entry, then hand them your phone — they sign on the screen, like a delivery signature • Before signing, they confirm the standard competency elements: indication, consent, identifiers, landmarks, sterile technique, complications, placement, documentation • Only what they tick is recorded — nothing is pre-checked or assumed • Every signature is timestamped and bound to that procedure • Signed entries lock — no editing after attestation • Supervisor walked away? Your dashboard keeps an "awaiting signature" list LOG IN TWO TAPS • Common procedures on one grid, 60+ more in search, custom entries for anything else — your frequent ones surface automatically • Role (performed / supervised / assisted), date, site • Technique tracked the way committees ask: ultrasound guidance where it applies, video laryngoscopy for airway YOUR FORMS, FILLED AND KEPT (PRO) • Import your facility's form or scan the paper copy with the camera • If it's a fillable PDF, ProcVault fills the form's own fields — your details, the signing date, signatures — exactly where the form declares, and leaves patient and evaluator boxes blank • Auto-Fill adds your name, unit, and title beside the labels it reads, and fills the evaluator table from the supervisors who signed your entries — initials, printed name, captured signature • Tap any blank to type. Export a flattened, print-ready PDF • Completed forms save to your vault to produce at the next site PRINTABLE PROOF, BUILT IN (PRO) • Attestation PDFs: summary counts, technique breakdown, the detailed log, the confirmed competency elements, every individual supervisor signature, and final signature lines • Standards-aligned templates ready to print: an ultrasound-guided IV competency record, an ultrasound credentialing tally aligned with published guideline minimums, and a per-procedure competency validation for FPPE-style review ALSO IN PRO • PHI-safe image attachments: photos taken in the app never reach your camera roll, and on-device scanning proposes black-box redactions you review before saving SEE WHERE YOU STAND • Dashboard totals, monthly counts, per-procedure breakdowns — every number tappable through to the entries behind it • Set credentialing targets and watch the bars fill • Free CSV export of your complete log, signatures included PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account. No server. No analytics. No ads. Everything stays on your device — the privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because there is nothing to collect. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple. ProcVault Pro: $24.99 once for lifetime access, or $9.99/year (auto-renewing). Logging, signatures, targets, and CSV export are free forever. The yearly plan renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
