The Enhanced note is a clinical note whose structure the AI chooses for each encounter. Instead of forcing every visit into the same template, it reads the transcript and organizes the note the way that specific encounter calls for. A medication follow-up, an intake, and a procedure visit each come out structured differently, because they are different.
Why it exists
Fixed formats are excellent when your practice or payer requires one, and clumsy when they do not. A ten-minute follow-up does not need the full four-section scaffold of a new-patient workup. The Enhanced note removes that friction by matching the structure to the content, so the note reads the way you would have written it if you had the time.
When to use it, and when not to
The Enhanced note is the recommended starting point for most sessions and the default for new accounts. Reach for a fixed format instead when you have a documentation standard to meet: generate the note in SOAP, DAP, BIRP, or your own template. See which format to use and custom templates.
How it behaves
- One Enhanced note per session, generated automatically when the session ends, typically within ten to twenty seconds.
- Your in-session notes from the Quick Bar are taken into account when it is written.
- You can still generate additional notes for the same session in other formats with New format.
- Everything is editable in a full editor before you copy it into your EHR or export it as a PDF.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Enhanced note in Clinic Scribe?
The Enhanced note is a clinical note whose structure is chosen by the AI for each encounter, rather than following a fixed template. It reads the visit transcript and organizes the note the way that specific encounter calls for. It is the default for new accounts and the recommended starting point for most sessions.
When should I use a fixed format instead of the Enhanced note?
Use SOAP, DAP, BIRP, or a custom template when your practice or payer requires a specific structure. Otherwise the Enhanced note usually produces a cleaner, better-fitted note because it matches the structure to the content of the visit.
Can I change an Enhanced note into a SOAP note?
Yes. Use New format to regenerate the same session as a SOAP, DAP, BIRP, or custom-template note. The original Enhanced note stays too, since each session can hold one note per format.
