Making LightScribe Work for You

📝 Note Format Preferences

Click the "Customize" button (look for the fancy pen icon) to set up your perfect note:

  • Point Form: Get your notes in easy-to-read bullet points instead of paragraphs
    Example: Instead of "Patient reports headache, nausea, and dizziness for 3 days" Becomes: • Headache x 3 days • Associated nausea • Dizziness when standing
  • Pertinent Negatives: Automatically include important ruled-out conditions and normal findings
    Example: "No focal neurological deficits, no photophobia, no neck stiffness"
  • Risk Advisory Notes: Add helpful reminders about patient discussions and clinical considerations
    Example: "Consider discussing red flag symptoms and follow-up plan if symptoms worsen"

Teaching LightScribe Your Style

Make notes sound like you wrote them:

  1. Click "Customize My LightScribe Note"
  2. Share 3 of your previous notes (they can be from any EMR)
    Choose notes that best represent your typical documentation style - these will serve as your "style guide"
  3. LightScribe will learn your:
    • Preferred terminology (e.g., "presents with" vs. "complains of")
    • Writing structure (how you organize information)
    • Documentation patterns (your typical way of describing findings)
💡 Pro Tip: The more recent and typical your sample notes are, the better LightScribe will match your style. Choose notes from your regular practice, not unusual cases.
