Dictation: talk instead of type

What this covers

Speaking a new patient into the form instead of typing it. Dictate Patient is available in English.

How to open it

From the dashboard, single tap the Patients chip and tap Dictate patient.

Steps

1. Open Dictate patient. It starts listening.
2. Speak clearly: “Bed 4, 72-year-old male, chest pain admit, troponin pending, allergic to penicillin.”
3. Stop when you are done.
4. Review the text Synapse filled in and correct anything that did not land right.
5. Save. The patient appears at the front of your deck.

Good to know

Dictation needs an internet connection, so the typed form is the fallback on a low-signal floor. Dictate where it is quiet enough to take a phone call. Practice on a demo patient once before you use it on a real admit.
