Introducing Abridge to your patients
Obtaining patient consent and discussing Abridge with your patient is an important part of the process. Make sure you follow your organization's recommended guidelines for patient consent.
Here is a sample talk track you can use when introducing Abridge:
"I will be using a tool that records our conversation to help me write my clinical note, so I can pay more attention to our conversation and less time on the computer. Is that okay with you?"
How to record on mobile
- Open the Abridge for Clinicians app.
- Select your patient in the Worklist view. If your patient does not appear on your worklist, tap the + button and label the recording using the patient's first and last name or initials.
- Tap the red record button to start recording. You can pause and resume at any time — see Pause and resume a recording for steps.
- When finished recording, tap Create Note.
