Surgery Intellect - Standalone Mode

Using Surgery Intellect, powered by TORTUS, as a standalone feature to create unassigned consultation or dictation

Updated this week

Surgery Intellect is a chargeable feature. To register your interest, please use our Enquiry Form here

To access Surgery Intellect in the standalone mode, navigate to the Intellect tab in the Phonebar Appointments Window

Once clicked, the standalone features are displayed ready for you to use. From here, you can view your in-progress and completed Consultations and Dictations from the past 24 hours via the tabs on the left hand side

These consultations remain in the archive for 24 hours before deletion

To begin a Consultation without attaching an active patient, click the Start Consultation button. This instantly begins the consultation, and you can then add the Patients name and date of birth at the beginning of the consultation

Please note: all consultations (regardless of whether they are patient-led) are archived to the TORTUS Consultation list once completed, where they remain for 24 hours before deletion. Patient-led consultations are then accessible through the patient contact history after these 24 hours, but non-patient-led consultations will be permanently deleted

For more information on managing Consultations within Surgery Intellect, see our help guide here

To begin a dictation, click the Start Dictation button

Once clicked, the recording begins automatically and continues until the recording button is clicked to stop the dictation

Once the recording has finished, the transcription is displayed. From here, you can make any necessary edits, before copying to the clipboard via the Copy Transcript button, or choosing to Start new dictation
