How to capture Dictations with an AI scribe?

Feature Overview

Direct Dictation accurately captures every spoken word during a visit, preserving the exact content while enhancing format, punctuation, and grammar. It ensures the original content remains intact, delivering clear, accurate, and well-structured notes that are easy to read and understand. 

Why We Built this

Physicians often need to document critical information not covered during patient encounters or adhere to specific formats; for example for correspondence. Direct Dictation facilitates efficient and accurate capture of all relevant details, reducing the need for manual typing. It's especially useful for specialists who prefer dictating their patient encounters or in situations where AI scribe use is not consented, streamlining the documentation process without sacrificing quality.

Key Benefits & Use Cases - 

1. Efficiency - Emergency physicians can use Direct Dictation to quickly document patient encounters in real-time, which is crucial in high-paced environments. This allows for the capture of essential details without slowing down the care process.
2. Accuracy - Specialists in fields like Psychiatry, can benefit from Direct Dictation to ensure that the details and complexities of patient interactions are accurately recorded, especially when the patient report might not be complete. 
3. Minimize Changes by AI -  Direct Dictation allows the physician's original content to be preserved while still benefiting from AI’s ability to format and punctuate correctly

Best Practices and Tips

• You can add supplementary recordings to the encounter by using the direct dictate feature and your final note will be amended accordingly. For example, this can be used to dictate examination findings or observations that were not discussed in the encounter transcript.

Advanced Use Cases

• Complex Scenarios: In fast-paced environments like the Emergency Department (ED), where multiple interactions with the same patient may occur within a single day, Direct Dictation allows for the continuous addition of notes. These can then be consolidated to form a comprehensive final summary note.
