All submitted Online Consultation Forms can be accessed via the Forms tab in the Communications Window
Selecting a Response
The 4 stages of the triage process are displayed by the following tabs at the top of this window:
Waiting
Triaged
Incomplete
Closed
New responses are held in the Waiting tab, and are notified by an orange notification dot along the left hand side. The method and time of the submission is also displayed in this column
Click the item to view the full response in the right hand side display
When you open an item in the display, it automatically gets assigned to your User. When other Users in your practice view the responses, they are notified of this, and the item is only accessible in View Only mode, to prevent duplication of work
If you do not wish to be assigned to the response once you have opened it, right clicking on the item in the left hand side display allows you to Mark as Unread and Unassign
At the top right hand corner of the Forms Tab, there is a button to create a new form. This can be done on behalf of the patient - for example, if you wanted to create a response for them whilst they were on the phone
For guidance on completing a Form on behalf of a patient, see our Help Centre guide here
Response Details
Once a response has been opened, full details are displayed in the right hand side. The Response Details banner provides the Patient Details, along with the method of the submission, which will be either:
Voice Agent Generated
User Generated
Web Form Generated
If the response was submitted via the AI agent, the patients telephone number is displayed, along with click to contact options should you wish to call, SMS, or video call
When a response is created via a web form, there is no telephone number displayed. for all responses, the assigned patient is displayed. Clicking on this opens the patient record in the clinical system
Under this, the response is displayed. For responses that were generated via the Web Form and User, only the response content is displayed
The content of the response can be copied by clicking the Copy icon
For responses that came through the AI Agent, both the Response and Transcription are shown in their respective tabs. The call recording is also available to listen to via the Response Audio media player
Responses generated from the AI Agents will also show the Call Sentiment, which is generated by AI and measures the tone of voice when a patient leaves their responses
Next to the Sentiment there are Thumbs Up and Down icons, so you can rate the accuracy of the sentiment if desired
The Thumbs icons on the response content can also be used to rate the accuracy of the response generated from the AI Agent
Action Response
The Action Response area allows you to progress each response through your processes and keep a clear log of the activity that takes place for each item
When a new response is available in the Forms tab, its Status is automatically set to Waiting, to match its location under the Waiting tab
The Priority and Severity fields will be undefined to begin with. Once opened, this response automatically becomes assigned to your User
To set the Priority and Severity, click the dropdown for the relevant field and choose from the following options:
High

If you need to assign the response to another User, click the Assign dropdown and select an individual from the list. Their availability within the Surgery Connect system is denoted by the coloured dot next to their name
Once you have assigned a response to another User, they will be notified via email
You can add any supporting comments for each response in the Comments box. Once you have entered a comment, the Cancel and Save buttons appear. Please note: comments are limited to 100 characters

Then click Save to Record
Once the response has been saved to the record, a confirmation box appears notifying Users of this
Incomplete Tab
When patients have begun to submit a response via the AI Agent and not completed it, the partially completed response automatically gets added to the Incomplete Tab. Once a response has been added, an orange notification dot displays against the tab
A banner is displayed at the top of the response to confirm that it is incomplete
The patient information is displayed at the top of the tab, along with their phone number, so that contact can be made to the patient to gather the rest of their response or check if further assistance is required
The Response will only display the content that was gathered from the patients call. Unanswered questions are left blank
Users can be assigned to Incomplete forms, and comments can also be added to these items
If you choose to contact the patient off the back of the incomplete response, you can complete a new Response on their behalf when you do so by clicking + Create New Form
For guidance on completing a response on behalf of a patient, see our Help Guide here
Closed Tab
Once a response Status has been set to Closed no further changes can be made to it. When selecting Closed as the status of a response, you will be asked to confirm that you wish to make this change by clicking Set Closed Status
Once saved, the ability to edit the Action Response is not available, and the functionality is inaccessible
Responses will be kept in the Closed tab for a period of time defined by the Data Retention Period you have set. As default, this is 24 hours, but can be changed via the Service Delivery Console Advanced Tab
Once the response has passed the Retention Period, it will be permanently deleted. If you wish to keep a response regardless of your Retention Period, click the Save button
Once a response has been saved, it is displayed in the response list on the left hand side of the tab with a saved icon against it
