Short answer

How can I use AI to write my clinical notes?

You can use Abridge to capture patient audio and convert it into structured HPI and Assessment & Plan sections. Your AI client uses the Abridge tools to manage recordings and pull the finished notes directly into your workflow.

The outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes audio and organizes the output into these specific areas.

STRUCTURED

Formatted medical notes

The AI pulls HPI and Assessment & Plan data from the recording. You get clean, organized text instead of a raw transcript.

PENDING

Recording status updates

Your agent tracks whether a recording is still processing or ready for review. You'll know exactly when the notes are available.

HUMAN

Clinical review required

The AI generates the draft, but you must review and sign off on the medical accuracy. This step stays entirely in your hands.

READY

Finalized documentation

Once the notes are ready, your agent can present them for you to copy into your EHR. The documentation is ready for your final check.

The workflow

What your AI does when the audio arrives.

The AI manages the lifecycle of a patient encounter from the first second of audio to the final note.

  1. Capture the encounter

    Your agent starts the process by initiating a new audio capture for the patient visit.

    create_recording

  2. Monitor processing

    The AI checks the status of the audio to see if the transcription and structuring are complete.

    get_recording_status

  3. Extract clinical data

    Once the audio is processed, the agent pulls the structured HPI and Assessment & Plan notes.

    get_clinical_notes

  4. Finalize the note

    The agent presents the structured data to you for a final clinical review and validation.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI edit the medical notes directly?

    No. The AI can only retrieve the notes generated by Abridge. You must perform all edits and finalizations yourself.

  • 02

    Does the AI store my patient audio?

    No. The AI uses the tools to interact with Abridge, but it does not store or keep copies of your recordings.

  • 03

    Can I ask the AI to create a note without a recording?

    No. The AI requires a recording processed through Abridge to generate structured clinical notes.

  • 04

    How do I know when the notes are ready to read?

    You can ask your agent to check the status of a recording, and it will tell you if the notes are available.

  • 05

    Can the AI automatically send these notes to my EHR?

    No. The AI retrieves the notes for you, but it does not have the capability to write directly into your EHR system.
