AI Medical Scribe for

Hepatobiliary Surgeons

Whipple candidacy, biliary strictures, incidental gallbladder findings — HPB consults are dense with imaging narrative and staged decisions. Medical Scribe drafts the consult note, consent discussion included, so the operative thinking you shared with the patient is what lands in the chart.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

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

HPB Consult Ready to copy

Subjective

63M referred with obstructive jaundice. Three weeks of painless jaundice, dark urine, and pale stools; 6kg unintentional weight loss over 2 months. No fevers or rigors. PMH: type 2 diabetes on metformin 1g BID. 30 pack-year ex-smoker, quit 2019. ECOG 1. No anticoagulants. NKDA.

Objective

  • Icteric sclerae; abdomen soft, non-tender, no palpable mass; no ascites
  • Labs 06/18: total bilirubin 8.3 mg/dL, ALP 640 U/L, CA 19-9 412 U/mL
  • CT pancreas protocol 06/20: 2.8cm hypodense pancreatic head mass, SMV contact <90 degrees, no arterial involvement, no distant disease
  • EUS-FNA 06/25: adenocarcinoma

Assessment & Plan

Resectable pancreatic head adenocarcinoma with limited venous contact, reviewed at HPB MDT 06/26 with consensus for upfront pancreaticoduodenectomy. Long consent discussion undertaken: pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, hemorrhage, anastomotic leak, diabetes worsening, and perioperative mortality reviewed alongside expected oncologic benefit. Patient wishes to proceed.

Additional Notes

  • Surgery scheduled within 2 weeks; preoperative biliary drainage deferred given timeline
  • Anesthesia review and prehabilitation referral arranged; diabetes co-management with endocrinology perioperatively
  • Patient and daughter's questions on recovery time and adjuvant chemotherapy addressed

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

HPB documentation carries the weight of the operation

The consult hinges on imaging narrative

CT pancreas protocol, MRCP, EUS findings — vessel contact, duct caliber, lesion size — must be restated in the note precisely, because resectability lives in those details.

Consent for major resection is a long conversation

Pancreaticoduodenectomy and hepatectomy risk discussions — fistula, leak, mortality — take real time with the patient and are only defensible if documented in full.

MDT decisions have to reach the chart

Tumor board conclusions, staged plans, and neoadjuvant pathways get decided in one room and documented in another — often days later, from memory.

Hepatobiliary Surgeon's Note

Subjective Objective Assessment & Plan

Plus 280+ templates across every specialty — or build your own in minutes.

Built for staged surgical decision-making

An HPB practice moves patients through workup, MDT review, consent, operation, and surveillance — each step a documented conversation. Medical Scribe records clinic and telehealth consults and drafts notes that carry the reasoning forward: the imaging read you explained, the resectability call, the consent given. You review and sign each one.

The Hepatobiliary Surgeon’s Note, issue by issue

Drafts follow the built-in Hepatobiliary Surgeon’s Note template: Subjective with presenting complaint and surgical history; Objective with examination and investigation results dated where possible; and an Assessment & Plan organized per surgical issue — differential, planned investigations, the procedure with expected outcomes and risks, pre-operative preparation, and the post-operative care plan.

If an outcome is ever questioned, the record of what the patient was told is everything. Because Medical Scribe drafts from the actual consult — the fistula risk you quantified, the alternatives you offered, the questions the family asked — the consent documentation reflects the conversation verbatim, with nothing added and nothing reconstructed.

Frequently asked questions

Does it capture the imaging findings I walk the patient through?

Yes. Lesion size, vessel contact, duct dilation, and study dates you discuss are documented in the Objective section of the Hepatobiliary Surgeon's Note exactly as stated. Medical Scribe never generates an imaging finding — if you didn't say it, it isn't in the note.

Is the consent discussion for a major resection documented?

The template's Assessment & Plan structure includes patient education and informed consent, so the risks, alternatives, and expected outcomes you actually discussed — and the patient's decision — become part of the consult note rather than a memory.

Can it document MDT outcomes discussed with the patient?

When you relay the tumor board's conclusion during the consult, that discussion is captured in the note with the rest of the plan — keeping the decision, its rationale, and the patient conversation in one place.

How secure is this for cancer patients' records?

Medical Scribe is HIPAA compliant, encrypted in transit and at rest. Recordings are processed securely, and every note is reviewed, edited, and signed by you before it enters the chart.
