Training

Train your team to review intelligent session notes

Avand Health2 min readPublished Updated

A useful training session should leave a practitioner able to spot a bad draft, not just able to start a recording. There is no universal adoption rate or timetable worth promising.

Practise with fictional material

Run through a made-up conversation and compare the transcript with the draft. Include an ambiguous statement and an omitted detail so the exercise requires judgement. Do not use patient information just to demonstrate a feature.

Teach the exceptions

Show how to work when recording is declined, interrupted or unavailable. Make sure everyone knows how to return to the existing process and where to raise questions about privacy or incorrect output.

Check confidence with a real task

Ask each practitioner to review and edit a sample note. Discuss the changes they made and why. Plan further support around what they found difficult, rather than treating attendance as proof of competence.

Use a short review exercise

Create a fictional source paragraph and a separate draft with deliberate mistakes: an incorrect date, a statement assigned to the wrong speaker and an intention written as a completed action. Ask the practitioner to identify and correct each difference. Explain that these errors were planted for training, not observed product results. Discuss the reasoning behind the edits and repeat the exercise where extra support would help.

Put it into practice

Use these prompts to guide your next step.

  • Use entirely fictional information for training.
  • Practise recording, review and the final handoff.
  • Demonstrate declined consent and interrupted recordings.
  • Make the route for questions and concerns clear.
