AI Medical Scribe for

Cardiothoracic Surgeons

Clinic days wedged between OR cases leave no time to dictate consult letters. Medical Scribe drafts your pre-op consults and post-op reviews from the conversation — risks discussed, angiogram findings, and surgical plan included.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for cardiothoracic surgeons — ready before your patient leaves the room.

Pre-op Consult Ready to copy

Summary

68M referred by cardiology for surgical revascularization of three-vessel coronary artery disease. CCS class III angina despite optimal medical therapy. Assessed for CABG.

Subjective

Exertional chest tightness at one flight of stairs, relieved by rest and GTN. No rest pain, syncope, or heart failure symptoms. PMH: type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia. Meds: aspirin 81mg daily, metoprolol 50mg BID, atorvastatin 80mg daily, metformin 1g BID. Ex-smoker, 30 pack-years, quit 2019. No allergies.

Objective

  • BP 138/82, HR 64 regular, SpO2 98% on room air
  • No carotid bruits; peripheral pulses 2+ and symmetric; no varicosities affecting conduit
  • Angiogram: 80% proximal LAD, 70% circumflex, 90% RCA; LVEF 55% on echo
  • STS predicted risk of mortality 1.8%

Assessment & Plan

  • Three-vessel CAD with preserved LV function — suitable candidate for CABG x3 (LIMA to LAD, SVG to OM and PDA)
  • Risks discussed: bleeding, stroke, arrhythmia, sternal wound infection, ~2% mortality; patient wishes to proceed
  • Continue aspirin; hold metformin day of surgery; carotid duplex and dental review pre-op
  • List for surgery within 4 weeks; letter to referring cardiologist and GP

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

Documentation shouldn't compete with the operating room

Clinic squeezed between cases

Pre-op consults, post-op reviews, and new referrals get packed into half-days around OR lists — and the letters for all of them wait until the evening.

Consent conversations carry surgical stakes

The risk-benefit discussion before a sternotomy — mortality, stroke, bleeding, sternal wound infection — has to be documented exactly as it was explained to the patient.

Every case has a waiting referrer

Cardiologists, respiratory physicians, and GPs expect a detailed letter after every consult. Slow correspondence slows the whole surgical pathway.

Built around the surgical clinic, not the other way round

A cardiothoracic consult moves fast: referral letter, angiogram, risk scores, consent discussion, booking. Medical Scribe records the visit — in clinic or by telehealth — and drafts the complete note while you move to the next patient. Post-op reviews, valve surveillance, and MDT-driven consults all work the same way.

What lands in the note

The Cardiothoracic Surgeon’s Note template organizes the visit into Subjective, Objective, and Assessment & Plan — presenting symptoms and surgical history, examination and imaging findings including conduit assessment, then a numbered plan per condition covering surgical options, risks discussed, and follow-up. You can also build custom formats, like operative or discharge letters, in minutes.

When a patient later asks what they were told about stroke risk before their sternotomy, the note answers precisely — because it was drafted from the conversation itself, not reconstructed from memory at 9pm. Medical Scribe only documents what was actually said and observed, and you sign every note before it enters the chart.

Frequently asked questions

Does it capture the operative risk discussion for consent?

Yes. What you explained about mortality, stroke, and bleeding risk — and the patient's questions and decision — is documented from the actual conversation. It never adds risks or consent language you didn't say.

Can it handle pre-op consults, post-op reviews, and surveillance visits?

Yes. The built-in Cardiothoracic Surgeon's Note template structures each visit into Subjective, Objective, and Assessment & Plan, so a first-time CABG workup and a six-week post-op wound review each get an appropriately weighted note.

Will it get the anatomy and imaging findings right?

The note reflects what was said in the visit — graft targets, stenosis percentages, ejection fraction, valve gradients — using the terminology you used. You review and edit before signing, so nothing enters the chart unchecked.

Is patient data secure?

Medical Scribe is HIPAA compliant, with encryption in transit and at rest. Recordings are processed securely and you control what is kept.
