What does this Florey do?
The Accurx Lower Back Pain Florey allows the sending of an online questionnaire to patients to collect information in regard to their lower back pain in order to facilitate their ongoing management.
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). 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?
