How to Navigate the Manage Clinic Tab (Old UI)

The Manage Clinic tab in the legacy AutoScribe interface allows you to add patients and create appointments. These records are required before starting an encounter using Start Listening.

Step 1 — Open Manage Clinic

From the main AutoScribe page, click Manage Clinic at the top of the screen.

This opens the area where patients and appointments are created and managed.

Step 2 — Add a New Patient

To create a patient record, select Create Patient.

You will be asked to enter the required patient details:

  • Full Name

  • Date of Birth

  • Health Card Number

If the patient does not have a health card, such as military personnel or non residents, a dummy number may be entered instead.

Optional fields include:

  • Email

  • Consent checkbox for receiving AutoScribe emails

  • Consent form upload for storing a signed consent document

Once all required information is entered, click Submit to save the patient.

Step 3 — Create a New Appointment

Before creating an appointment, confirm the patient has already been added.

Select Create Appointment.

Choose:

  • A clinician registered at your clinic

  • A patient from the system

After both are selected, choose the appointment date and time.

Click Submit to save the appointment.

Step 4 — Start an Encounter

Once a patient and appointment are created, return to the main page.

Click Start Listening.

Select the patient’s appointment from the list and begin the encounter.

Quick Tips

  • Patients must be added before appointments can be scheduled.

  • Appointments must exist before they appear under Start Listening.

  • Remember to click Submit when creating patients or appointments to avoid losing entered data.

  • Consent forms uploaded here can be stored in AutoScribe or your EMR.

Result

Patients and appointments created in the Manage Clinic tab become available for selection when starting encounters, allowing you to begin recording and generating notes using the legacy AutoScribe workflow.
