Ask the record

Ask the patient's records and see where each answer comes from

Type a question in the chat panel, like which cardiovascular risk factors are documented. You get an answer from the workspace sources and see which document each point came from.

A doctor asking which cardiovascular risk factors are documented, and the answer listing each one with its source, starting with chest radiotherapy found in a 2009 oncology letter

Ask the questions you would ask the notes

Use the chat when you need one fact from a thick file, or one list from many documents.

  • Find one fact

    Ask when ramipril was started or what the last LDL was, and see the document that states it.

  • Gather across documents

    Ask which cardiovascular risk factors are documented and get one list from the referral, the results, your notes and old letters, like a 2009 oncology letter that records chest radiotherapy.

  • Check before you write

    Ask what the referral wants the specialist to answer before you draft the reply.

Built in

Keep answers tied to this patient's sources

The chat reads the workspace you ask from. Each answer points you back to the record.

  • You see each source

    Open the source each answer names and check the document yourself.

  • You ask one patient at a time

    The chat answers from the sources of the workspace you ask from and nothing else.

  • You check the answer

    Treat an answer as a pointer into the record. Open the source before you rely on it.

Outcomes

What you gain when you can ask the file

  • You find facts without paging through letters

    Ask for the date, the dose or the value and open the document that states it.

  • You ask before you draft

    Settle what the record says first, then draft the assessment from the same sources.

  • You and your colleagues ask the same file

    A colleague with access to the workspace can ask their own questions of the same sources.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are the answers?

We do not publish an accuracy figure. Each answer names its source so you can check it against the document before you rely on it.

Does it answer from other patients' records?

No. The chat answers from the sources in the workspace you ask from.

Can I use an answer in a letter?

Yes. Check it against the named source first. You review and edit the letter before you send it.
