Tips for better notes

SoundCopy Anchor Link

• Speak clearly, at a normal pace. No need to speak loudly.
• Limit noise: door closed, fan away from the microphone, no paper rustling near the device.
• Place the device between you and the patient, microphone unobstructed, at a reasonable distance.
• Watch the level bars at the start: if they don't move, the wrong microphone may be selected.

During the examCopy Anchor Link

The Scribe only hears what is said. Say out loud what you are doing and what you observe:

• announce the exam: "I'm going to examine your knee";
• describe what you do, even without exact terminology: "I'm palpating the inner side…";
• state findings as you go: vital signs, range of motion, response to palpation;
• state your impression and plan out loud before the patient leaves, or dictate them right after.

ContextCopy Anchor Link

• Choose the right category before generating: it determines the structure of the note.
• Put what the conversation doesn't contain in Additional details: vital signs taken by the nurse, a previous note, results.
• Add useful documents (results, a photo of the wound) as attachments.
• For a complex visit, choose Thorough mode, or let Auto decide.

After the noteCopy Anchor Link

• Always read the note and check doubtful passages in the transcript.
• If the note isn't right, regenerate it with another category or another mode rather than rewriting it all.
• Making the same correction often? Add it to your note preferences: it will apply to all your next notes.
• Rate the note: your feedback helps us improve the scribes.
