  • A more powerful Accurx, with the toolbar built to allow us to release improvements more quickly in the future ๐ŸŽ‰

The old Toolbar

The new Toolbar ๐Ÿ†•


What's changed

1. Message Patients

No changes here! This is still the place to message patients ๐Ÿ’ฌ
Youโ€™ll find the same reliable workflow: clicking here still opens the Compose screen with the EMR patient details pre-filled. This familiar step hasnโ€™t changed, so you can continue messaging patients just as you always have.

2. More options

This option opens a dropdown menu with more actions related to patient care such as filling out a Triage request via Reception flow or creating a Batch message๐Ÿ‘‡

3. Scribe

This opens the Accurx scribe window ๐ŸŽค Accurx Scribe uses AI to transcribe audio from a patient consultation or dictation and to summarise it into a structured form for medical notes. Clinicians can review and edit these notes, generate other documents, save these notes to the patient record and share documents with patients and other services.

You can find an overview here on how to complete your first consultation with Accurx Scribe

4. Patient Inbox

'Inbox' has been renamed to 'Patient Inbox'. This is still the place to access all patient related communications. โœ๏ธ

5. Professionals Inbox

'Accumail' has been renamed to 'Professionals Inbox' for clarity ๐Ÿ”Ž

6. Directory

No changes here! You can still find up to date contact details for services across the NHS to message them about your patient. Add and update contacts to manage all your contacts in one place.

7. Workspace and account settings (previously your Initials)

What was previously represented by the initials menu is now displayed as a settings cog icon โš™๏ธ , offering a more universally recognized symbol for accessing preferences and settings.

This button opens a dropdown menu ๐Ÿ‘‡

7a : At the top of the menu you can see which workspace, organisation and account youโ€™re currently signed into. If you are not connected to an organisation then it wonโ€™t show.

7b: Manage Organisation has now been renamed to Settings. This option launches the Manage Org webpage as it did previously where you can manage features like Templates, Appointment Reminders, Patient Triage etc as well as your Workspace and Account settings.

7c: This opens the Users page in Manage Org/ Settings so you can have quick access into approving and managing colleagues in your workspace.

7d: This is a shortcut to your Reporting Dashboards.

7e: This will open up the Accurx Help centre

7f: This opens up the product feedback form as it was previously

7g: This will now contain what was previously under both 'About' and 'Settings'. You will be able to update your toolbar, send diagnostics and access options like Organisation ID, Organisation location and This computer ๐Ÿ‘‡

7h: This will open up the Organisation switcher window as it did previously.

7i: Here you will be able to Log out of the Accurx toolbar.

7j: This will minimise the Accurx toolbar into your desktop bar without logging you out or closing the toolbar.

7k: This was previously named 'Exit'. Here you will be able to close the Accurx application but it will not log you out of your account.
