Customize Your Notes in Seconds: How to Use Smart Edit and Put AI Learning to Work
By: Empathia Editorial Team
December 7, 2024
Clinical documentation can be time-consuming, and not exactly the most delightful part of your day. But what if it could be faster, smoother, and (dare we say) even a little joyful?
With Empathia AI’s Smart Edit and AI Learning, you’re not just writing notes — you’re shaping them to fit you. Whether you like your notes crisp and bullet-pointed or narrative and detailed, we’ve got you covered. Your notes, your way — every time.
What is Smart Edit?
Smart Edit is like your personal note-whisperer. It gives you the power to regenerate any part of a note instantly using your own words. Want to bold your headers? Add a little extra detail in the Assessment? Remove an entire section? Easy peasy — EMMA’s got it.
Here’s what you can do:
Tweak the tone, structure, or formatting
Add or remove content in a flash
Tailor notes to your specialty, visit type, or preferred writing style
And the best part? No manual rewriting necessary. Just tell EMMA what you want, and watch the magic happen.
How Smart Edit Works (It’s Seriously Simple)
1. Tap the Magic Wand
Click the purple magic wand icon next to any section — or the whole note — to launch Smart Edit.
2. Type What You’d Like to Change
Here are some real prompts our clinicians use:
"Add more detail to the Plan section."
"Remove the Social History."
"Make the HPI more conversational and problem-oriented."
"Bold all section headers and capitalize them."
"Refer to the patient as 'the patient' instead of using a name."
3. Compare the Magic
Use the "See Differences" view to compare your original note and EMMA’s updated version. Like what you see? Keep it! If not, no pressure — you’re always in control.
4. Save It for Next Time
If you’ve got a go-to prompt you love, save it as a Custom Instruction. Bonus tip: check "Apply to all future notes" and you’ll never need to repeat yourself again.
5. Fresh Start Anytime
Want to reset and try again? Click the cute little pencil icon to clear the chat and start fresh.
What’s AI Learning All About?
Think of EMMA as your very own note-taking apprentice.
The more you teach her what you like, the better she gets. After just two or three rounds of feedback, EMMA remembers your preferences — from tone and structure to formatting and phrasing.
Whether you like your ROS bullet-pointed, your Plan section extra detailed, or your SOAP notes in a specific flow, EMMA will learn your vibe and match it beautifully.
A Few Real-World Examples
💡 A dermatologist wants a cleaner format: "Make ROS bullet points with no punctuation."
💡 A family doctor keeps things efficient: "Remove Past Medical and Social History for follow-ups."
💡 A pediatrician loves a warm tone: "Make this note friendly and conversational, but still clinical."
Smart Edit makes all of this (and more) a breeze.
