When there is no integration with a clinical system Surgery Intellect can be used to generate consultations or dictations without attaching the contact to a Patient
We would recommend using the Non-integrated mode to create test consultations to ensure everything is working smoothly before commencing a clinic with patients

Completing a Consultation
Once a consultation has been completed, the transcript is generated and you can add supporting comments and medical codes, and generate clinical notes. To begin, add the patient name and date of birth into the relevant fields
The full transcription can be viewed by clicking the Transcription button, and any required comments not mentioned during the call can be added by adding Context in the box below it
You can change the style and structure of the Clinical Note by using predefined templates. Once you have made changes, click Regenerate to create a new note
You can also Copy and Edit the content using the buttons located underneath the Clinical Note
Based on the content of the consultation, Surgery Intellect will identify medical codes that may be relevant. Each one displays the code and any observable values, as well as showing the consultation content that prompted the code to be generated
If any of these codes are not required, they can be toggled On or Off against the consultation as desired
See the full list of Medical Codes here
You can then generate a letter, if necessary, based off the consultation content. There are three letter templates available:
Patient Letter
Colleague Letter
GP - Specialist Referral
Once the letter is generated, you can view the content and copy the letter to the clipboard if required
You can also rate the accuracy of the generated letter by using the thumb icons
