What's New in AI SOAP Notes?

Authors list

AI SOAP Notes helps providers turn patient conversations into clinical documentation and billing codes faster, using Live Transcribe, AI-generated SOAP Notes, and AI-generated ICD/CPT codes—all within a unified workspace.

Accessing AI SOAP Notes

AI SOAP Notes is available within the Notes tab in the Visit Details view.

To activate:

  1. Navigate to the Visit Details of any patient encounter.

  2. Click the Spark icon button, located next to the Templates button at the top-right corner of the main container.

  3. A side panel will open on the right-hand side, divided into three tabs:

    • Conversation

    • Notes

    • ICD

Conversation Tab

In-Person Visits

For in-person visits (no prior meeting or recording), the Conversation tab starts empty. You'll need to record and transcribe the conversation before you can generate notes or codes.

To start Live Transcribe:

Click the red Play button at the bottom of the Conversation tab to open the recording and transcription interface.

Once Live Transcribe is running, you can:

Action

Description

Pause

Pause the transcription at any time

Resume

Resume transcription when ready

Keyword Search

Search for specific terms within the transcript

Highlighting

Keywords are highlighted, and the number of occurrences is shown

Clear Content

Clear all transcribed content to start a new Live Transcribe session

Note: Only one Live Transcribe session can be active at a time.

Until there is transcript content, the Notes and ICD tabs will be disabled, with the tooltip message:
"Conversation content is required to generate ICD/CPT (SOAP) codes."

 

Video Visits / Telemedicine

For video visits, the Visit Details already include an existing recording or meeting source.

Automated Processing:

  • A notice appears at the top of the page:
    "The meeting summary and AI SOAP notes are ready. View them now >"

  • Click "View them now" to open the AI SOAP interface directly.

Asset States:

State

Description

Processing

The asset is being processed to generate a transcript. AI SOAP Notes and ICD codes cannot be generated.

Ready

The transcript is available. Full functionality is enabled.

Asset Management:

  • The Provider can download the transcript asset directly.

  • A three-dots button next to the Download button contains additional actions (functionality not yet defined—excluded from this version).

Important: Live Transcribe is not supported for Video Visit recordings—it is only available for in-person visits.

 

Generating SOAP Notes

Once a transcript is available:

  1. Switch to the Notes tab.

  2. Click "Generate SOAP Notes from Transcript".

Post-Generation Interface

After generation, the following elements are displayed:
