Check your Echo version

Users can now check the version of Echo they are using within the Echo application. Visit our guide How To Check Your Echo Version

 

The latest version of Echo is 2.8.0.2

Automatic coding

Users with SystmOne can now choose for Echo to automatically add SNOMED codes to their consultations and notes.

For observations that are subjective and objective, codes are added automatically. Diagnostic and chronic disease monitoring codes must be manually triggered to ensure they are not added unintentionally.

Visit our guide to see how automatic coding works, and how to use it.

 

Echo 2.7

Comprehension Engine®

Lexacom’s Comprehension Engine® is controlled and customised by our Lexacom Team, but built on user requirements and feedback.  It is capable of transforming speech or text into complex or descriptive terminology. Currently, there are two modes –

Patient Mode
Echo will automatically insert descriptive terminology next to medical terms to help inform patients.
e.g. Apyrexial becomes Apyrexial (did not have a raised temperature)

Medical Mode
Echo will convert spoken or written phrases into medical terms to help clinicians abbreviate.
e.g. Heart sounds were normal becomes HS I + II – 0

For more information, videos and guides visit our Lexacom Comprehension Engine page on the Echo Support Centre
