Use the Abridge web editor to record a patient encounter on your laptop or desktop. This requires your healthcare system to have enabled web recording.
Before you begin:
- Do not use a mobile device browser for web recording.
- Web recording cannot capture audio while headphones are connected. Use your device's built-in microphone.
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
- Navigate to notes.abridge.com on your laptop or desktop.
- Select a patient from the Worklist, or click the red + button and label the recording using the patient's first and last name or initials.
- Select your device's microphone from the drop-down menu. If your browser prompts you to allow microphone access for notes.abridge.com, select Allow.
- Click the record button to begin recording.
- To pause and resume before finishing: click the pause button to pause, then click the record button to resume.
