Before starting a recording, take a moment to let your patient know you'll be using Abridge and obtain their consent. Follow your organization's recommended guidelines for patient consent.
Sample talk track
Here is a suggested way to introduce Abridge at the start of a visit:
"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?"
Adapt this language to fit your communication style and your organization's consent requirements.
