Sample input
Turnover situation: I'm turning over operatory 3 after a restorative appointment that ran over. The next appointment is approaching. Current delay: 12 minutes. Confirmed completed steps: Disposables removed, instruments moved through the designated transport process, and initial cleanup completed. Open or uncertain steps: Required surface contact time is underway, barriers need replacement, the setup needs restocking, and instrument availability needs confirmation. Next appointment needs: Standard exam setup listed in the office guide. Available resources: Operatory 2 may be available after status confirmation. One approved exam setup is ready. Available help: Another assistant can restock sealed supplies. The lead assistant can verify room status. Communication constraints: Front desk needs an approved estimate.
