Background
Dr. Tara is an OB-GYN who regularly documents complex postpartum and pediatric gynecology cases. Like many specialists, she needed an AI tool that could match her preferred note style, reduce repetitive formatting, and understand the nuances of medical language and abbreviations.
“I don’t want numbered lists — I want narrative notes that sound like my voice.” — Dr. Tara
During her trial with Empathia AI, Dr. Tara identified opportunities to improve template formatting and ensure that AI-generated notes reflected the concise, clinically precise tone used in OB-GYN documentation.
Challenges Before Empathia AI
Formatting Issues: Notes displayed unwanted headers, numbered lists, and ICD codes that cluttered notes.
Lack of Clinical Precision: Full medical terms replaced abbreviations commonly used by specialists.
Limited Customization: Generic templates didn’t capture nuanced OB-GYN histories or postpartum details.
Implementation & Workflow Adaptation
Jake and Dr. Tara worked collaboratively to redesign her templates and optimize note generation:
Smart Edit Tool: Used to remove headers, numbered lists, and unnecessary sections.
Narrative Format: Shifted templates from point-form to narrative paragraphs.
Medical Abbreviations: Configured AI to retain abbreviations for terms like “G / P / L” and “Hx.”
Custom Postpartum Template: Refined to include only pertinent exam findings and key maternal details.
Pediatric Gynecology Template: Created and tested as a consult note with sequential diagnostic paragraphs.
Formatting Guidelines: Past medical and surgical histories now display years only; family history highlights breast, ovarian, uterine, and colon cancer; medications & allergies appear inline separated by commas.
“Now my postpartum notes look clean — no extra headers or numbering.”
“I appreciate that I can still use my own abbreviations.”
Jake also advised using conditional logic within a single general template to adapt for allergies or medical conditions rather than creating multiple templates.
Top Features Used
Smart Edit Tool: Quickly reformats text to preferred narrative structure.
Custom Template Builder: Allows tailoring by condition (postpartum / pediatric Gyn).
Personalization Settings: Hides ICD codes and non-clinical headers.
Side-by-Side Note Comparison: Helps match AI output to existing chart style.
The Impact
After the refinements, Dr. Tara achieved consistent, clinically accurate, and properly formatted notes that aligned with her preferred style. The ability to use Smart Edit and bracketed prompts significantly reduced editing time and improved trust in the generated notes.
“I can now focus on patient care instead of fixing formatting.”
She also appreciated the opportunity to continue testing under an extended trial, ensuring that future templates would fully match her specialty’s needs.
Conclusion
Through Empathia AI, Dr. Tara transformed her documentation workflow—replacing generic templates with customized, clinically accurate OB-GYN notes. The collaboration emphasized precision, efficiency, and personalization, allowing her to maintain professional language while cutting editing time by half.
“It finally fits how I document — short, clear, and clinically accurate.” — Dr. Tara
