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 note: If you try to save to record a value for one of these codes that is out of the accepted range it will fail and you will be shown a warning explaining this.

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