Quick consultation

Overview

Hero Health's Quick Consultation functionality enables users to capture short, plain-text consultations and save them directly to a patient's record. This feature is designed to streamline the process of recording patient interactions, making it ideal for saving comments, notes, or other brief updates without the need to access EMIS or TPP directly.

The Quick Consultation element can optionally include a SNOMED code, ensuring that the recorded information is structured and clinically meaningful. This functionality is particularly useful for tech businesses looking to embed non-core features into their applications, providing a seamless way to enhance their offering with minimal development effort.
