§ HPI Assistant · AI-generated historiesBuilt by emergency physicians

A brief summary in. A complete history out.

Enter a one-line summary, or let Ambient Scribing capture the encounter. The HPI Assistant returns a complete, complaint-specific history with the pertinent positives and negatives that support your decision-making: ready to review, edit, and paste into your EMR.

01Where it lands
The HPI workspace

The generated history opens beside the exam and MDM in Chart View. Review it, refine any line, and copy it straight to your EMR.

02How it starts
From a brief summary

Type the presentation the way you already think it: 74M, L sided weakness, R facial droop, slurred speech x 1 hour. That is enough.

03Follow-up prompts
Refined in seconds

Add what came up later (a medication, a witness account) and the assistant integrates it without regenerating the whole history.

01Complaint-specific

Complete histories, not templates.

The HPI Assistant expands your input into a structured narrative: onset, timing, quality, modifying factors, and functional impact, with the pertinent positives and negatives that match the chief complaint. Chest pain reads like chest pain, not like a generic template.

  • Complaint-specific pertinent positives and negatives
  • Proper narrative structure with timing and context
  • Lay terms converted to clinical language
1-2sentences · is all it takes
02Any input style

Write it the way you already talk.

Chief-complaint shorthand, triage notes, an EMS report, bullet points: the assistant reads them all. With Ambient Scribing you skip even that: the history drafts itself from the encounter while you focus on the patient.

  • Works from shorthand, triage notes, or EMS reports
  • Generates automatically with Ambient Scribing
  • Paste-ready for any EMR

03Your voice

Reads like you wrote it.

Follow-up prompts integrate new details without starting over: include that he is on warfarin, add that family witnessed the event. Documentation Preferences keep the structure and style you set, so every HPI comes back formatted your way.

  • Natural-language refinements · no regeneration
  • Documentation Preferences set your format once
  • Every line editable before it enters the chart

palmER HPI Assistant generating a complete history

The HPI Assistant is one of three core documentation tools, HPI, Physical Exam, MDM, that together write the chart. Each can be used on its own; together they replace the slow, painful parts of charting.

§ Capabilities · 04 listedHPI documentation AI · emergency medicine

What it does, specifically.

01Capability

Complaint-specific framing

The HPI knows that abdominal pain is not the same as chest pain. The pertinent positives and negatives match the chief complaint, not a generic template.

02Capability

Positives and negatives that hold up

The ones a reviewer would expect, and the ones that change the differential. Not a wall of irrelevant ROS bullets.

03Capability

Snippet- and preference-aware

Section ordering, voice, and recurring phrasings follow your saved preferences. The chart sounds like you.

04Capability

Works in both modes

Type the summary in Assistant Mode, or let Patient Mode auto-generate the HPI from the captured encounter. Same output, same quality.
