Abridge AI Scribe

Ambient Listening to Transcribe and Summarize Clinical Encounters

Abridge software captures the patient-doctor conversation using ambient listening, uses natural language processing to create a transcript of the discussion, and uses large language models and generative AI to convert the transcript into a draft clinical note for providers. The software separates chitchat from relevant information to produce a note in narrative format. 

Guidance

Collect patient consent

Clinicians must first collect patient consent to record the encounter. View the Consent tip sheet.

Use Abridge to record encounter

Abridge Inside (Haiku) Epic currently only works in Haiku for iOS devices. Providers can locate a patient in the emergency department on their trackboard or from the outpatient clinic schedule.

Abridge Outside Epic works for Android or iOS devices by downloading the Abridge app. Inpatient providers can utilize this functionality and transfer text via copy/paste to Epic from notes.abridge.com.

Anchor the generated note back into Epic

Starting with a system template or using existing templates, providers insert the Abridge text into the note.

Review and finalize the note

Providers must review and finalize the drafted note. Only the finalized note becomes part of the patient’s medical record.
