Dictation

Initial Clinic Notes: You may dictate an initial clinic note in order to create a complete database to cut and paste from when entering subsequent notes on ORCA.  Follow-up clinic notes, telephone notes and letters to patients cannot be dictated; these notes must be typed directly into ORCA.

Accessing the Dictation System:
Dial 744-3743
Enter your ID number
Enter 339 (new patient note)
Enter 22 (International Medicine Clinic)
Enter patient medical record number

Dictation format:

• Standard opening: “This is (your name) dictating International Medicine Clinic note on (date) for (patient name – spell out the last name) medical record number (say patients medical record number).”
• Body of the dictation:
  • Standard H&P format
  • “Patient care discussed” or “Patient seen, examined and discussed” with Dr. (name of attending).
• Sign off: indicate that you’ve reached the end of the dictation by saying “this is the end of dictation for (patient name), signed (your name).”
• Copies: if you want a copy of your dictation sent to another physician, say “please send a copy of this note to Dr. X” and give the address if you have it.
