Ambient documentation automatically creates clinical notes from patient-provider conversations. Instead of typing notes during or after a visit, providers can focus entirely on the patient while Suki listens, transcribes, and organizes the conversation into structured clinical documentation.
**Ambient documentation is supported by:** APIs, Web SDK, Mobile SDK, Headless Web SDK Ambient documentation automatically creates clinical notes from patient-provider conversations. Instead of typing notes during or after a visit of a patient, providers can focus entirely on the patient while Suki listens, transcribes, and organizes the conversation into structured clinical documentation. Ambient documentation helps providers to: * **Save time**: No more typing notes during or after visits * **Better patient care**: Providers focus on patients, not screens * **Accurate documentation**: AI captures details that might be missed * **Consistent format**: Notes follow standard clinical structures * **EHR ready**: Generated notes integrate directly with EHR systems ## Use cases Capture patient conversations during in-person visits and generate structured clinical notes. Capture patient conversations during virtual visits and generate structured clinical notes. Capture patient conversations during telehealth visits and generate structured clinical notes. Capture patient conversations during ambulatory care visits and generate structured clinical notes. ## How it works Ambient documentation works in four main steps: Start a new ambient session for a patient visit. Provide basic information like: * Patient details (name, date of birth, etc.) * Which note sections you want (e.g., History, Physical Exam, Assessment) * Provider information Suki returns a session ID that tracks everything for this visit. Sessions should be at least 1 minute long. Very short sessions may be skipped. Start recording when the visit begins. Audio streams to Suki in real-time, where it's automatically converted to text using speech recognition. **What happens:** * Audio is captured from the conversation * Speech is converted to text automatically * Everything happens in real-time After the conversation ends, Suki's AI analyzes the transcript: * Identifies clinically important information * Organizes content into the sections you requested * Structures it like a professional clinical note **Example:** The AI might extract "chest pain for 3 days" and put it in the "History of Present Illness" section. Once processing is complete, retrieve the finished clinical note. The note includes: * **Structured sections**: Content organized by LOINC codes (e.g., History, Assessment, Plan) * **Structured data**: Diagnoses, medications, and other coded information * **Full transcript**: Complete conversation transcript if needed The note is ready to integrate directly into your EHR system. ## Key features Converts speech to text accurately, even with complex medical terminology. Works with over 80 languages. Patients can speak in their preferred language, and notes are generated in English. Choose which sections to include in your notes using standard LOINC codes. Match your EHR's expected format. Processes everything automatically. Handles interruptions gracefully so providers can focus on patients. All audio and data are encrypted. Built to meet healthcare privacy and security requirements. ## Getting started To use Ambient documentation in your application: Contact our [Partnership team](/documentation/partner-onboarding) to get onboarded and receive your credentials.
