Sessions: Creating and using custom consultation note templates

Scribe can generate your consultation notes using a template you design yourself, instead of only the built-in note formats.

Creating a template

  1. Open Scribe Settings under settings < organisation settings < scribe

  2. Click + New Template

  3. Describe the structure and purpose - you can use the suggestions provided

  4. This will then generate the template - you can now check it through and make changes as required, as well as seeing what an example session would look like

Setting a default template

Mark any of your templates as default so Scribe uses it automatically for new consultations, without you needing to pick it each time. It will show as a default on the settings page:

Editing or archiving a template

You can edit a template at any time; changes apply to notes generated after the edit. Older notes keep a snapshot of the template as it was when they were created, so past notes never change retroactively. Archiving removes a template from your active list without deleting notes already generated with it.

What happens to clinical codes?

If your custom template doesn't include a section for coded findings, Scribe still preserves any SNOMED codes identified during the consultation - it adds a "Clinical codes" section automatically, so nothing is lost even if your layout doesn't set aside a specific spot for it.

Transcription quality

Scribe now uses an upgraded medical transcription model, giving more accurate notes in noisier rooms and multi-speaker consultations.
