AI Medical Scribe for

Sleep Medicine Specialists

Sleep consults are history-heavy — bed partner accounts, Epworth scores, years of unexplained fatigue. Medical Scribe drafts the full note from the conversation, and covers your sleep study consent too.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for sleep medicine specialists — ready before your patient leaves the room.

OSA Follow-up Ready to copy

Summary

52M — OSA follow-up, 3 months on auto-CPAP. Residual AHI 3.2, usage 6.4 hours nightly. Epworth down from 15 to 7. Early mask leak resolved with cushion change.

Subjective

Reports waking refreshed most mornings and no longer napping after work. Wife confirms snoring has resolved. Uses CPAP nightly but removes the mask around 5 am some mornings. Initial dry mouth improved after enabling heated humidification. Nocturia resolved; caffeine down to one coffee daily.

Objective

  • BP 128/82; BMI 31.4, down from 32.1 at diagnosis
  • CPAP download: usage on 92% of nights, median 6.4 h/night; residual AHI 3.2; large leak 2% of night
  • Auto-pressure range 8-12 cmH2O; 90th percentile pressure 10.6
  • Epworth Sleepiness Scale today: 7/24 (15/24 at diagnosis)

Assessment & Plan

  • 1. Obstructive sleep apnea, severe at diagnosis (AHI 38) — well controlled on auto-CPAP with good adherence and residual AHI 3.2
  • Continue current pressure settings; review download annually
  • Encouraged continued weight loss; discussed 5-10% body-weight target
  • 2. Early-morning mask removal — trial chin strap if nightly usage declines
  • Follow up in 12 months, sooner if daytime sleepiness returns

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

Sleep histories are long, and the data never stops

Histories with two narrators

The patient describes the fatigue; the bed partner describes the snoring, the gasps, the leg movements. A complete sleep note has to weave both accounts together.

Data-dense follow-ups

CPAP adherence percentages, residual AHI, leak rates, pressure settings, Epworth trends — every follow-up is a table of numbers that has to be narrated into the chart.

New consults run 45 minutes or more

Sleep, medical, psychiatric, and medication histories plus screening scores make initial evaluations among the longest notes in outpatient medicine.

Fits both ends of a sleep practice

Initial evaluations are long and narrative; CPAP follow-ups are short and numeric. Medical Scribe records either — in clinic or over video — and drafts a note sized to the visit: a full sleep history with screening scores for the new consult, a tight adherence review for the three-month check. You review, edit, and sign.

From bed partner history to pressure settings

The built-in Sleep Medicine Specialist’s note template — one of 280+ specialty templates — structures each visit into Subjective, Objective, and a numbered Assessment & Plan, so the reported history, the download data you narrate, and your per-issue plan each land where they belong. A Sleep Study Consent template is included for study bookings.

Numbers transcribed, not approximated

Sleep medicine runs on precise values — an AHI of 3.2 is not ‘well controlled’ unless the chart says so. Medical Scribe documents the exact figures spoken in the visit and nothing it wasn’t told, and every note passes through your review before it reaches the chart.

Frequently asked questions

Can it handle input from the bed partner in the room?

Yes. The note is drafted from the whole visit conversation, so a partner's account of snoring, witnessed apneas, or limb movements is captured as part of the history — attributed the way it came up in the room.

How do CPAP download numbers get into the note?

Narrate them as you review the data — 'residual AHI 3.2, usage 6.4 hours' — and they're documented under Objective exactly as stated. The note never invents a number you didn't say.

Does it cover sleep study consent paperwork?

Yes. Alongside the Sleep Medicine Specialist's note there's a built-in Sleep Study Consent template, and you can create custom templates for your lab's forms in minutes.

Is it suitable for telehealth sleep follow-ups?

Fully. Medical Scribe records telehealth and in-person visits on iOS, Android, Web, Apple Watch, and Mac, and is HIPAA compliant with encryption in transit and at rest.
