No. It records the result you read out, for example "ECG: no new changes". Interpreting the ECG stays with you.

Does it assign an NYHA class?

Only if you say one. Functional class is never worked out by the scribe.

Can I use the Cardiology template for ward notes?

Yes. Specialty templates work for outpatient clinic notes and inpatient ward notes.

What if I also have my own template?

Both are used together: your own sections first, then the specialty sections.

Cardiology template

Cardiology notes, written while you talk

Cardiology clinic notes live on risk factors, results and medication. The Cardiology template gives each of them a place: risk factors, vital signs, ECG and echo results you read out, and anticoagulation.

See a Cardiology note

A short consultation in Urdu, and the note Hikayat Scribe writes from it.

The consultation (Urdu)

Doctor: Seene mein dard kab hota hai?

Patient: Seedhiyan chadhte waqt, aaram karne se theek ho jata hai. Teen mahine se.

Doctor: Sigarette peete hain?

Patient: Haan, bees saal se.

Doctor: ECG mein koi naya change nahi. Aspirin shuru kar rahe hain aur exercise test karwayenge.

The note

Presenting complaint: Exertional chest pain x3/12.
History: Chest pain on climbing stairs, relieved by rest. Onset 3 months ago.
Cardiovascular risk factors: Current smoker, 20 years.
Results reviewed: ECG: no new changes.
Plan: Start aspirin. Exercise tolerance test.

Fictional patient. Sections that were not discussed are left off.

What the Cardiology template records

Alongside the usual history and examination, every Cardiology note has these sections:

Functional classCardiovascular risk factorsVital signsResults reviewedAnticoagulation and antiplateletsPain assessmentPatient education

Only what was discussed

The scribe never assigns an NYHA class you did not state, and it records the results you read out rather than interpreting an ECG itself. Any section that was not covered is simply left off the note, so it never fills up with "not discussed".

Set it once

Choose Cardiology when you start a clinic or ward note, or tick "Always start my notes with this specialty" and it stays selected until you change it. Specialty templates are part of Pro and Enterprise, and included in the 7-day free trial.
