The Essentials of Critical Care Time Documentation
Strong critical care documentation must clearly delineate the total time spent providing critical care services on a specific calendar date. This includes time spent on the bedside, reviewing labs and imaging, and coordinating care with consultants, provided these activities are focused on the patient's critical illness. Documentation should explicitly state the total minutes spent and the clinical necessity of the interventions performed to justify the level of care.
Using an AI scribe removes the reliance on retrospective memory, which often leads to under-documentation of actual time spent. By recording the encounter, clinicians can use the AI-generated draft as a foundation, then use transcript-backed citations to verify the exact duration and sequence of care. This ensures the final note is a high-fidelity reflection of the encounter rather than a generalized summary.

Critical Care Documentation FAQs
Transcript-backed documentation, clinician review, and EHR-ready note output are built into every workflow.
Can I use this tool to document total critical care minutes?
Yes, the AI scribe captures the encounter and helps you draft the clinical narrative and time spent, which you can then verify via the transcript.
Does the AI automatically calculate billable time?
The AI drafts the note based on the encounter; the clinician reviews the transcript-backed citations to finalize and confirm the exact time spent.
Can I use specific ICU note styles like SOAP or APSO?
Yes, the app supports common structured styles including SOAP, H&P, and APSO for critical care documentation.
How do I ensure the time documented is accurate?
You can review the source context and per-segment citations within the app before finalizing the note for your EHR.
