Overview
Yes! Ember helps healthcare providers maintain organized records of patient medications by automatically analyzing clinical session transcripts and categorizing medications into clearly defined groups. This feature ensures important medication details are easily accessible and well-documented.
How It Works
Automatic Medication Analysis
After each clinical session, Ember processes the transcript and organizes medications into the following categories:
Psychoactive/Psychotropic medications
Narcotic medications
Anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications
Other medications (such as ongoing antibiotics)
What Information Is Captured
For each medication, Ember tracks:
Prescription dates
Whether the medication is PRN (as needed) or regularly scheduled
Any dosage adjustments or discontinuations
Duplicate orders to prevent medication errors
What's Not Included
To keep records focused and relevant, Ember automatically filters out:
One-time medication refusals (unless part of a concerning pattern)
Routine dental, audiology, podiatry, or ophthalmic appointments unless they involve:
Surgical procedures
Antibiotic prescriptions
New medication orders
