Practical Tips for Integrating AI Scribes into Your Practice

• Leverage AI to Pre-Chart: Before seeing patients, review their histories and use AI to pre-chart important details. This can be done by recording a summary and pausing the recording until the consultation begins.
• During Consultations: Use the mobile app or Chrome extension to start recording. Add additional information in the Notepad that you don't want to verbalize in front of the patient. Empathia AI can also generate ancillary documents, such as patient handouts, referral letters, and consult letters, which can be easily copied, printed, or emailed.
• After Patient Encounters: Click "Copy All" to paste notes into your EMR. If you need to make edits, use tools like appending a recording, dictating with the Mic icon, auto-completing medical terms, using macros, adding templates, or using smart edit to refine the notes. These features make finalizing notes quick and easy.
• Customize Templates: Use customizable templates for SOAP notes, handouts, and consult letters. Tailor these templates to your specific practice needs to maximize efficiency.
• "Trust but Validate": While AI Scribes improve accuracy, it's crucial to review and validate the generated notes to ensure they meet clinical and ethical standards.
