What is Pre-Charting?
Pre-chart is a dedicated tab in Doximity Scribe where you can prepare clinical context before a patient encounter. In the Pre-chart tab, you can dictate, type, or paste notes or upload files (such as prior visits, referral letters, or intake forms) and save them as named pre-charts. When you're ready to start a Scribe session, you can launch a session directly from the pre-chart or attach a saved pre-chart from the dropdown when starting a new session, either way, Scribe uses that context to generate a more complete note.
Note: Pre-charts expire after 30 days.
How do I create and save a pre-chart?
In Doximity Scribe, navigate to the Pre-chart tab and click “New pre-chart”.
2. Dictate, type, or paste your clinical context, or upload a file.
3. Save the pre-chart with a title so you can find it later.
On mobile:
1. Go to Scribe and open your Scribe notes.
2. Tap on Pre-charts or Pre-chart toggle.
a. On iOS: Tap the blue plus icon (upper right corner)
b. On Android: Tap Pre-chart (bottom right)
3. Dictate, type, or paste your clinical context.
4. Save the pre-chart with a title so you can find it later.
Your pre-charts are stored in your library and can be reused across multiple sessions.
How do I attach a pre-chart before starting a session?
The steps to attach a pre-chart depend on whether you're using desktop or mobile.
On web:
1. Open the pre-chart and click Start this note in the upper right-hand corner. This opens a new session with that pre-chart already loaded. Start recording when you're ready.
2. Start a new Scribe session directly and select a saved pre-chart from the dropdown menu before you begin recording.
On mobile:
In your pre-charts list, tap Start or Start visit to the right of the pre-chart title. This opens a new session with that pre-chart already loaded. Start recording when you're ready.
How does pre-chart content appear in my note?
Your pre-chart content is summarized and used to enrich the current note contextually. For example, if you upload a prior note, relevant conditions or context are pulled forward automatically when your session completes. You can also add a pre-chart to an already-generated note at any time to incorporate additional context.
Can I add a pre-chart to a note that’s already been generated?
Yes.
Currently available on the Doximity website (desktop). Mobile support coming soon.
1. Open the generated note in Scribe and click “Add Pre-chart.”
2. Select a saved pre-chart or type context directly.
3. Scribe will merge any relevant information into your existing note.
