How It Works

From summary to chartin seconds.

Two steps. Thirty seconds. Done.

01

Capture

Press record and talk with your patient. Encounter listens, transcribes, and drafts your HPI, Exam, and MDM in seconds.

Ambient capture: the Voice tab with the capture mode set to Ambient, a record button, a waveform, and a finished recording of two minutes fourteen seconds.

Transcript: a conversation in speaker bubbles between Dr Tyler and the patient about chest pressure, where it spreads and his medical conditions, ending with a pill reading Updated HPI, Exam and MDM.

The generated note for an 87-year-old man with chest pain: HPI, Physical Exam and MDM sections, filled in.

Talk with your patient.

Set the phone down. Every speaker captured, the noise left out.

Every word, kept.

A speaker-labelled transcript you can check the note against.

HPI, Exam and MDM, ready.

Drafted in seconds, in the structure your chart expects.

02

Refine

Paste labs, imaging, and the ECG read. Encounter folds them into the note and the MDM comes back sharper.

An EMR results screen with labs including an elevated troponin, a chest X-ray impression and an ECG read, all selected and copied, with Command A and Command Copy keys.

The chat composer holding the pasted lab, X-ray and ECG text exactly as copied, with a Command V keycap, and the send button being pressed.

The MDM section after regenerating: the original differential, plus new highlighted lines citing the ECG, the troponin and the admission plan.

Select all, copy.

Labs, the rad read, the ECG — straight from your EMR, mess and all.

Paste into chat.

No formatting, no cleanup. Send it.

A stronger MDM.

The note regenerates with the data reviewed and what it means for the patient.

In the chat

It hands you the toolbefore you ask.

The HEART score calculator under a chat reply, with the last two criteria answered, the total reaching 3, low risk, and the line HEART Score: 3, Low risk for major adverse cardiac event added to the MDM.

The critical care note template in the chat: 30 minutes is picked, it is added to the note, and the critical care attestation appears in the Procedures section exactly as filled in.

Scoring tools, built in

Describe a chest pain and the HEART score opens under the reply. One click puts it in your MDM. Wells, PERC, Ottawa and more work the same way.

Procedures you can’t miss

Mention the bedside time or the line you placed, and the note is offered: critical care, sepsis, intubation, lacerations and more. It goes into the chart exactly as you filled it.

Features

Everything you needto chart faster.

Built around the way emergency documentation actually works — summary in, defensible note out.

MDM that thinks like you

Paste the whole chart, messy as it is. It reasons through the differential at the acuity you actually worked up.

Medical decision making87M presents with substernal chest pressure. Differential includes STEMI/NSTEMI, unstable angina, aortic dissection, PE, and musculoskeletal etiologies. Initial troponin 0.12 (H) with 1mm ST depression V4–V6 on ECG

Two ways to talk

Ambient Scribe listens to the room. Dictation takes your summary and decides which sections to write.

Built on real templates

Nine years of EM templates — the differential, the risk stratification, the disposition — sit behind every draft.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Encounter Notes HIPAA compliant?

Yes. Encounter Notes is fully HIPAA compliant. All data is encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption both in transit and at rest. Our infrastructure runs in U.S.-based, HIPAA-compliant data centers. Your patient information is safe with us.

What EHR systems does it integrate with?

Encounter Notes works alongside any EHR. It runs in your browser — provide a brief summary or simply copy and paste the generated documentation into Epic, Cerner, Meditech, or whichever system you use.

How is Encounter Notes different from other AI note assistants?

Other AI note assistants are mostly speech-to-text tools — they transcribe what you say with sparse clinical reasoning. Encounter Notes is a robust AI documentation assistant that understands clinical reasoning. Give it a brief summary or drop your entire note with labs/imaging included and it generates a structured, billing-appropriate HPI, Physical Exam, and MDM. It doesn’t just write what you say; it thinks through the documentation like a seasoned EM physician.
