1. Introduce the exam
|
“Moving on to the physical exam…” or “Let’s take a look…”
|
2. Tie findings to a location on the body
|
Recommended: “Both ears are clear of blockages
Avoid: “All clear over here.”
|
3. Use specific sensory words
|
Recommended: “I am palpating your neck, and I feel a swollen lymph node.”
Avoid: “There’s swelling in your neck.”
|
4. Expect Abridge to reflect your words as spoken
|
Saying “Heart exam is normal” will output “Heart exam is normal,” not a list of templated findings such as “Heart has regular rate and rhythm.”
