How do you want to prepare visit notes?

Turn the consultation into a note your clinician can check and edit.

One visit note includes up to 20 recorded minutes and 2 pages of supplied visit context.

A clinician reviews every note. No autonomous diagnosis, prescribing, chart signing or patient advice. Posting to a chart requires explicit approval of the exact note and encounter.

What is included

Capture an authorised consultation or upload audio, draft the agreed note sections and review statements beside their sources. Export an approved version for your existing charting process.

Record or upload a consultation, transcribe it and draft the agreed note sections. Link statements to audio or supplied context. Never invent a normal examination, diagnosis or care plan that was not documented.

Clinical setting: up to 1 adult outpatient primary-care workflow.

Note format: up to 1 practice-approved template.

Concurrent visits: up to 2 visit notes.

How accurate and complete should the note be?

Measure clinical meaning and omissions, not just similarity to another note.

How these standards are measured

Clinicians compare unseen recordings with the drafts. Measure supported statements, important details captured, clinical qualifiers and evidence links separately.

Targets for your selected standard
What is checkedTarget
Supported clinical statementsCount all clinical claims, including examination findings and plans. A plausible statement absent from the recording or supplied context is unsupported.≥98%
Important details capturedUse clinician-labelled required facts, including stated follow-up and relevant negative findings. Missing drafts and unnecessary omissions count as failures; an empty note cannot pass.≥95%
Correct clinical detailsCheck every labelled medication, dose, frequency, negation, speaker and time reference against the source. Turning patient-reported symptoms into a diagnosis is an error.≥98%
Valid evidence linksOpen the source passage in the correct encounter and version. Test overwritten recordings, revoked access and links that jump to unrelated speech.≥100%

Every draft needs clinician review. Missing speech is not a negative finding; an uncertain detail must stay uncertain. A high average score does not excuse a critical clinical error.

How soon after the visit should the draft be ready?

Choose the time from a completed recording to a reviewable draft.

Timing details

Include transcription, drafting, source checks, retries and queueing. Recording time, upload and clinician review are additional, not hidden in machine latency.

The target applies to at least 95% of agreed test runs, with 2 in progress at a time.

How much do you want to spend per visit note?

Choose the machine budget for transcribing and drafting each note.

Cost details

Includes medical transcription, model calls, retries and shared hosting. Clinician review, device purchases, EHR vendor charges and organisation-wide compliance work are separate.

Reference machine cost: $2.14 – 2.54 per visit note at 100 visit notes a month. The selected cap is a target to test, not a replacement for this estimate.

Where do you want it to run?

Use your approved cloud or your own server. Decide whether patient data can go to approved speech and model services.

Data and access details

Runs in your approved cloud account with controlled storage, permissions and retention.

Use approved speech and model services only after confirming data agreements, permitted regions and patient-data handling.

Confirm consent, data agreements, permitted regions and retention before processing. Keep patient records isolated and sensitive text out of ordinary logs. Local hosting alone does not make external API calls private.

How do you want to use it?

Review notes on a web page or prepare them through an authorised agent.

Anything else your provider should know?

Optional. Your choices are included automatically.

Common questions

Should I buy this or subscribe to Abridge?

Subscribe when you need a managed clinical platform, broad specialty coverage and established enterprise integrations. Buy a bounded workflow when you have your own approved environment, note format and clinical review process.

Does it record the consultation?

The workflow can capture audio or accept an authorised recording. Your practice must establish the required consent and recording process, with a clear stop control and retention policy.

Can it diagnose or recommend treatment?

No. It documents what was said and supplied. A clinician reviews every note and remains responsible for clinical decisions.

What happens if speech is unclear?

The draft marks the uncertainty and links to the audio. The clinician resolves it; the workflow must not guess a medicine, dose or finding.

Can it write directly into our EHR?

The connected option covers a specific authorised clinical API, subject to access and sandbox validation. It transfers only the exact clinician-approved note as an unsigned draft. Vendor fees and certification work are separate.

Can patient data stay inside our environment?

Choose private speech recognition and models for no external calls. An approved API option still sends data to that service, even when the web app runs locally. Confirm agreements and permitted regions before processing.
