How It Works

Turn raw visit details or dictation into structured clinical notes in a few steps. Built by a practicing clinician who documents the same visits you do.

1

Select reason for visit

Choose from 13 standard visit types: SOC, skilled nursing, wound care, catheter care, recertification, discharge, and more.

2

Review guidance and format

A short prompt appears to guide dictation. Choose DARP, SOAP, or Narrative if you want to override the default.

3

Add optional guidance

Use custom templates or preserve terms to match agency requirements and protect product names.

4

6

Copy into your EHR

See it in action

Real dictation is messy. Here’s the kind of rough, spoken input EchoMed takes — and the structured DARP note it returns.

Messy dictation (spoken)

ok so wound care follow-up, left lower leg... wound looks a little better than last week, still some serosanguineous drainage, cleaned it with saline and changed the dressing, foam dressing... pt says pain’s about a 6 out of 10 with walking, still using the walker, wife was there helping out, reminded them to keep the leg elevated and stay on the antibiotic

Structured DARP note

D: Home visit for wound care follow-up to the left lower leg. Wound appears improved from the prior visit, with continued serosanguineous drainage. Patient reports pain 6/10 with ambulation and continues to ambulate with a walker. Spouse present and assisting with care. A: Cleansed wound with normal saline and applied a foam dressing. Reinforced leg elevation and antibiotic adherence. Assessed pain and gait with activity. R: Patient tolerated the dressing change without distress and verbalized understanding of elevation and medication instructions. P: Continue skilled nursing visits for wound care per orders. Monitor drainage, pain, and wound healing. Reassess ambulation and reinforce patient education next visit.

DARP, SOAP, and Narrative formats are available, plus custom templates. This is an illustrative example — keep real patient identifiers out of dictation.

Tips for best results

  • Say brand names and dressing types clearly
  • Include vitals and wound measurements
  • Do not include patient identifiers
