Tips for using DAX Copilot in rehab services

Use verbal cues in your conversation

Verbal cues are directives that you speak, like prompts to guide the conversation or specific questions you ask the patient. These cues help DAX Copilot understand what is happening so it can better write the summary. Here are some suggestions:

• Specify location and laterality. To ensure the AI understands the location and laterality of the body part involved, clinicians should specify them when discussing patient symptoms or treatment areas.

  • During hands-on treatment, it is essential to vocalize the anatomical landmarks and your clinical findings to ensure they are accurately documented in your notes. For example, you might note: "Moderate tenderness to palpation and an increase in pain reported by the patient at C6 during cervical side glides."

  • Verbalize your findings with the level of specificity you prefer. If stating "mid-back" suffices, you may do so. However, if you wish to include specific vertebrae and their relevant findings, ensure that this information is incorporated during the pre-recording, ambient recording, or as an addendum.

• Articulate what you're doing and verbalize what you want DAX Copilot to capture. Fully articulate your exam and assessment and plan details to the patient so the AI can capture those details.

  • During patient exercises, it may be beneficial to pause the recording and summarize your observations based on your verbalizations. Alternatively, if you prefer to have your findings documented, be sure to articulate them during the exercises. For instance, you might note, “The patient required significant verbal cueing during the standing shoulder alphabet to enhance postural awareness and prevent excessive elbow flexion.”

  • For exercises, it is essential to clearly communicate the specifics of your findings while educating the patient, ensuring that these details are documented accurately. Example: "When performing side-lying clamshells, be careful not to allow your hips to roll backward beyond the starting position."

• State your findings and describe the plan. State the diagnosis or problem and associated plan in the order in which you want it to be documented.

• Discussing Goals. Goals will be included if explicitly verbalized to ensure accurate and timely information is included. Verbalize goals in the SMART format. Example: “Your first short term goal is to achieve 90 degrees of passive range of motion right knee flexion when lying on your back, ideally in two weeks ”
