Why Build Over a Previous Scribe?
Maintain continuity of care by building on previous visits, keeping all relevant history in one place. Extend a prior scribe by adding new findings so longitudinal care stays in one seamless document.
Step-by-Step Process
Open your Scribe Library and click “Scribes” in the left sidebar to view past notes. Locate the note you want to build on and click the Medical Context button in the top-right corner. A Medical Context panel opens—dictate new findings, transcribe a new visit, or paste additional details. Click Generate to produce the combined note, then review and edit as needed.
Alternative: Copy a Note into a New Scribe
Copy a note you want to build on, open a new scribe, and paste the note or relevant sections. Dictate new findings and/or transcribe a new visit, then click Generate to create a fresh document that incorporates the pasted history.
Tips & Best Practices
Rename clearly (e.g., “FU – Hypertension – 3 mo”) for quick search. Archive originals once linked to declutter your library. Use the Medical Context button to extend an existing note or paste context into a new one—it’s the fastest way to maintain continuity while adding fresh clinical information.
