You can add SNOMED codes automatically, directly in SystmOne. For details see: How to Use Echo to Enter SNOMED Codes in SystmOne.
Lexacom Echo supports a range of commands for utility and to help increase productivity.
Please see How To Use Echo Voice Commands for full information and how to access the list of general built-in voice commands.
These commands function in the SystmOne clinical system. These commands will not work in other applications unless also shown as a command for that application. Some commands are context-dependent (e.g. Ctrl + F is used to show Favourite screen or search text, depending on the current window).
Saying the commands in the left column will perform the action in the centre column. Alternatively, a keyboard shortcut is in the column on the right.
Many common actions in SystmOne already have voice commands build into Echo. You can also create your own. Please see How to Create a Custom Keyboard Shortcut Command
