Setting up for the transfer

Open the relevant patient in your medical record system and navigate to the note you wish to transfer.

How to save to record from the toolbar

In Accurx Scribe click the 'Save to Record' button.


Saving in the medical record

EMIS

EMIS saves to the record seamlessly with Accurx if we have an active connection to the toolbar. If you're experiencing issues with Accurx connecting to EMIS, it may be due to a crashed instance of EMIS running in the background, incorrect organisation settings, or a misconfiguration in EMAS Manager. We have full instructions for this in our article here.

SystmOne (S1)

In SystmOne, the process for saving individual messages involves opening the patient's record. Upon closing the patient's file, it must be saved to retain any changes or additions. If the patient's record is discarded instead of saved, their notes will not be preserved.

When updating the record, we open the patient's file in SystmOne and prompt you to save it to ensure the changes are properly recorded. While most staff members likely save automatically for any accessed patients, if someone discards the record without saving, the changes won't be preserved. Consequently, in Accurx, it may appear as though the changes were saved (due to our addition), but in SystmOne, they would have been discarded.

Vision

For practices that work as part of a Federation, and use the Federation Locum user type, your Accurx messages may be received via the Vision Mail Manager, when the Federated Locum user is logged in/sending messages. The messages may also save under a name similar to Dr Federated User. You can read more information about this in our article here.


Snomed Codes

Accurx Scribe will initially support saving structured clinical observations to the patient record using standard SNOMED CT codes.

Important: These observations and measurements are not automatically saved, clinicians must review, edit if necessary, and confirm the information before it is saved into the clinical record.

The first six supported codes are:

Clinical Observation

SNOMED CT Code

Units

Value Range

Systolic arterial pressure

72313002

mmHg

1–350

Diastolic arterial pressure

1091811000000102

mmHg

1–300

Body weight

27113001

kg

0.1–500

Standing height

248333004

metres

0.1–3.0

Tympanic temperature

415974002

°C

1.00–50.00

Peak expiratory flow rate

18491006

L/min

1–800

The following structured clinical codes are planned for release in future updates:

Clinical Observation

SNOMED CT Code

Units

Value Range

Peripheral oxygen saturation

431314004

%

0–100

Heart rate (pulse)

364075005

bpm

0–300

Respiratory rate

86290005

respirations/min

0–100

Capillary refill time

15527001

seconds

0–60

Each of these values will be validated to ensure only clinically reasonable measurements are saved. Accurx will continue to validate and add further codes and structured fields over time to expand Scribe’s functionality.


⚠️ Please review all notes and letters that you generate before saving them to record or copying them elsewhere.
