What does this Questionnaire do?
The Accurx medication review Questionnaire collects information in regard to patients' medication in order to facilitate the review of their treatment (medication review).
The questionnaire link is sent via SMS or email. The patient fills in the questionnaire through a browser so can use their phone, tablet, laptop or desktop to complete it.
The responses are returned to the practice and can be saved directly into the clinical record (EMIS or SystmOne) as a coded entry. The responses can have additional notes added, be assigned to other colleagues and be marked as urgent.
What does it look like for the clinician and patient?

F.A.Q's
Why do you not include the 'Medication review' SNOMED code?
We don't add this code as the medication review isn't completed through the questionnaire alone. Review of the information by a clinician is required, who will then make a decision on the correct course of action.
