Quick answer
Documentation for emergency medicine
For the assessment and handover of acute complaints, with a dedicated place for ABCDE, timeline, collateral history and management plan.
An emergency department contact, a reassessment or a handover: read how Hysio organises the report after the acute care has been given. Each answer belongs to one of the four emergency department documentation formats.
- When do you use Hysio in the emergency department?
- Voice-driven reporting means: you state ABCDE findings and the timeline out loud once and do not have to type them again. Hysio writes the report, and this way of working is also called AI documentation. You do this after the acute phase, not during the acute care. There are four documentation formats: Emergency Physician Acute Intake, Emergency Physician Assessment and Consultation, Emergency Physician Discharge Report and Emergency Physician SOAP Note. [2] [3] [4] [5]
- Which sources does Hysio keep apart?
- What the client, a relative or the ambulance crew reports stays separate from your own findings and measurements. Hysio does not fill in a vital sign or time. [1] [17]
- Who checks the emergency department report?
- You, as the emergency physician. You review timeline, findings and handover before the report goes into the record. [1] [9]
- Profile code 049
- Documentation formats 4 profession-specific documentation formats: Hysio Emergency Physician Acute Intake, Hysio Emergency Physician Assessment and Consultation, Hysio Emergency Physician Discharge Report, Hysio Emergency Physician SOAP Note.
- Source focus acute presentation, timeline, examination and handover
- Record boundary report after the acute phase, judgement with the emergency physician
Voice-driven reporting in the emergency department
Which documentation format do you choose for a first presentation in the emergency department? #
The Emergency Physician Acute Intake fits a first presentation; the Emergency Physician Assessment and Consultation fits reassessment. For the presenting complaint, the appropriate report structure follows the triage information of this contact. Record vital signs and the collateral history as the source provides them, and link ABCDE information to its origin and the follow-up. This keeps the timeline of acute stability traceable, and if in doubt you can always go back to the original note. [2] [3] [4] [5] [1] [17]
How do you put the timeline and what the ambulance crew reported under fixed headings? #
Put the timeline and triage information under fixed headings, so you can quickly find the collateral history within acute stability. Place triage information next to ABCDE information and keep vital signs with their origin. Also record how and when the timeline was discussed, so the source stays recognisable for each part of the record. [2] [1] [10]
Where does the ABCDE assessment go in the emergency department report? #
Let ABCDE information follow the route your medical record system already uses, instead of inventing a new format. Record the collateral history and timeline with the available origin, and check vital signs and the source before you permanently save the details of acute stability. Check the text about triage information before saving. [10] [1] [2]
How much of the medical history do you include in an emergency department report? #
Limit the note about the timeline to what this specific contact needs, and record the basis for sharing triage information separately. Link ABCDE information to vital signs and the contact, while the collateral history remains your own assessment. Beyond that, write down only what the source states about acute stability. [8] [11] [1]
How is voice-driven reporting priced in the emergency department? #
Hysio works with a subscription, with a monthly and a yearly option; with yearly billing you get two months free. The number of sessions per plan and the conditions of the free trial are on the pricing page. The emergency physician checks the text and decides what goes into the record according to local agreements. [6] [7]
When is your own template for triage more practical? #
Sometimes your own template for triage information fits better than Hysio's standard format; in that case, compare the two side by side and keep the ABCDE information traceable to the source. Record vital signs next to the collateral history and assess the timeline only if this contact actually supports it. Work from the triage information and then connect it to the rest of the record. [1] [10] [17]
How do you check what family or the ambulance crew said against your dictation? #
During the source check, compare the text or dictation about the collateral history with the timeline as it was provided; a fixed format does not automatically make acute stability correct. Place triage information next to ABCDE information and keep vital signs with their origin, so that if anything differs you can go straight back to the source. [1] [17] [9]
How do you keep your attention on the client while you go through the ABCDE? #
When recording ABCDE information, focus first on the client and only then on the systematic approach. Check vital signs before you finalise the note on acute stability, and record the collateral history and timeline with their available origin. This way, attention to the client comes first, even when triage information and the systematic approach demand priority. [1] [2] [10]
What does Hysio organise in the timeline, and what do you assess? #
The difference lies in the division of roles: Hysio organises the timeline and links it to the source, while you assess the triage information and decide what is useful for acute stability. Link ABCDE information to vital signs and the contact, and let the collateral history remain your own assessment. Write only what the source states. [1] [2] [10]
How do you start voice-driven reporting in the emergency department? #
Start with vital signs in one recognisable contact and only expand after that. Agree in advance who checks the collateral history, before you use the approach more widely for acute stability. Record the timeline and triage information with their origin and assess ABCDE information separately within that first contact. [7] [8] [1]
Documentation formats for emergency physicians
Does the Acute Intake fit the first contact in the emergency department? #
Yes, the Emergency Physician Acute Intake fits a first point of contact and brings the collateral history, timeline and follow-up together in a clear overview. However, the details of acute stability are only saved after your check. Also record vital signs and triage information with the available origin, and check the text about ABCDE information before saving. [2] [1] [17]
Do you use Assessment and Consultation for a reassessment? #
Yes, the Emergency Physician Assessment and Consultation organises the reason for the encounter, history, examination and the follow-up discussed, and therefore fits a reassessment or handover. Link vital signs to the collateral history and the contact, while the timeline remains your own assessment. Record triage information next to ABCDE information and write only what the source states. [3] [1] [17]
Is the Discharge Report suitable for concluding an emergency department contact? #
Yes, the Discharge Report organises the reason for the encounter, findings, conclusion and follow-up, and is therefore suitable when concluding an emergency department contact. Record triage information and ABCDE information with their origin and assess vital signs only within acute care in the emergency department. With voice-driven reporting, you describe the collateral history in the words of the source, next to the timeline. [4] [1] [17]
Does a SOAP note fit reassessment and handover? #
Yes, the SOAP Note organises Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan, and therefore fits a reassessment and handover. The format keeps collateral history identifiable as a source account, vital signs as findings and the discussed follow-up as the plan; the details of acute stability are only saved after your check. Record the collateral history next to the timeline and assess triage information only if this contact supports it. [5] [1] [17]
Which format fits the timeline: first assessment, reassessment or handover? #
The appropriate report structure follows the timeline of this specific contact: an intake for a first presentation, a consultation for a reassessment, and the discharge report or SOAP note for a handover. Place ABCDE information next to vital signs and keep the collateral history with its origin. Also record how the triage information was discussed. [1] [2] [17]
When do you start with an intake because the vital signs are abnormal? #
Choose an intake when vital signs describe the starting point of the contact; use a follow-up report as soon as the collateral history shows what has changed within acute stability. Record the timeline and triage information with the available origin and check the text about ABCDE information before saving. This makes it clear for every follow-up contact which format fits best. [1] [2] [17]
What do you note at a second contact after triage? #
For a follow-up contact, describe the reason, the course of action and the findings. Link vital signs to the collateral history and the contact, while the timeline remains your own assessment. Record ABCDE information next to the timeline and write only what the source states. [1] [2] [17]
What do you put in the handover about what family or bystanders said? #
In a handover, make the source, the recipient and the agreement made visible around the collateral history, and check consent first before information about acute stability is passed on. Record triage information and ABCDE information with their origin and assess vital signs separately. Describe the collateral history in the words of the source. [1] [2] [17]
How do you keep your own ABCDE finding apart from what others reported? #
Always keep the client's account, your own observation and the professional assessment separate, and state explicitly for the ABCDE information what role the source played. Record the collateral history next to the timeline and assess triage information only if this contact actually supports it. Only then connect vital signs and the source to each other. [1] [2] [17]
How do you compare the timeline across two emergency department visits? #
Always compare the triage information per contact on the same key points, and name only the changes that the source actually supports for acute stability. Place ABCDE information next to vital signs and keep the collateral history with its origin. Also record how the timeline between those contacts was discussed. [1] [2] [17]
Recording timeline, ABCDE and vital signs
How do you describe the onset and course of the complaint in the history? #
Record the presenting complaint and its course in the source's own words, and add the timeline only if it was actually discussed during the contact, the reassessment or the handover. Record ABCDE information and vital signs with their origin and assess the collateral history separately. Describe the timeline in the words of the source, next to the triage information. [1] [17]
How do you note who measured the vital signs? #
Record who provided the vital signs and keep that separate from your own observation, so the collateral history remains traceable. Record the timeline next to triage information and assess ABCDE information only if this contact supports it. Then connect vital signs to the rest of the record. [1] [11] [17]
How do you record a triage value with the time of measurement? #
For triage information, record the instrument used, the unit and the exact time of measurement; you decide on its professional meaning yourself. Place vital signs next to the collateral history and keep the timeline with its origin. Also record how the ABCDE information was discussed at that moment, so a colleague can later find the time of measurement without any doubt. [1] [17]
How do you link the collateral history to a lab or imaging result? #
Link the collateral history to the examination, the date and the source, and give your own assessment of the timeline a separate place in the text. With voice-driven admin, you record triage and ABCDE information with their origin, and you check the vital signs before saving. This keeps the result traceable to the collateral history that belongs with it. [1] [17] [11]
Does Hysio assess X-ray or CT images in the emergency department? #
No, Hysio does incorporate a report provided on the ABCDE information, but does not itself assess any images in relation to the timeline; the source always takes precedence. Record the collateral history next to the timeline and assess triage information separately. Write only what the source states about acute stability. [10] [9] [17]
Which abbreviations and terms do you use for the timeline, such as onset and presentation? #
For the timeline, the common terms are time of onset, time of presentation, time of triage and time of reassessment; record them with the clock time and not as “recently”. Next to each moment, record the source and the professional assessment. The emergency physician determines the meaning and the follow-up. [1] [17]
How do you record what a relative says about the incident? #
Always state explicitly who provided the vital signs: the client, a relative or the referrer, and record consent for the collateral history separately before you share it. Record the timeline next to triage information and assess ABCDE information only if this contact supports it. This keeps it traceable whose observation lies at the basis of the record. [1] [11] [17]
What does the team want to know about the triage? #
Make visible which discipline provided the triage information and who takes up the follow-up, and keep the ABCDE information understandable for the whole team. Place vital signs next to the collateral history and keep the timeline with its origin. Also record how the ABCDE information was discussed, so every discipline in the team reads the same state of affairs. [1] [2] [11]
What should an example case with collateral history show? #
A good example shows the real contact, the collateral history and the follow-up, without inventing a diagnosis. Record triage information and ABCDE information with the available origin and check the text about vital signs before saving. Preferably choose a case in which the collateral history visibly influenced the follow-up. [1] [17] [2]
Which points do you include in a handover of the ABCDE findings? #
Limit the handover of ABCDE information to its source and purpose, so the recipient can then trace the vital signs themselves. Link the collateral history to the timeline and the contact, while triage information remains your own assessment. Write only what the source states, and leave out unnecessary details. [10] [8] [11] [17]
No triage or diagnosis: the boundaries in the emergency department
Does Hysio make a diagnostic statement based on the ABCDE? #
No, Hysio organises the ABCDE information, but does not make a diagnosis or indication itself. You determine that meaning as an emergency physician, as your own professional responsibility and not as a suggestion from Hysio. Place the collateral history next to the timeline and keep triage information with its origin. Also record how the vital signs were discussed during the contact. [9] [1] [17]
Who checks the timeline before you save? #
You check the timeline before it is saved: you choose the content of the record yourself and assess what is correct, and Hysio does not take over that professional decision. Record ABCDE information and vital signs with the available origin and check the text about the collateral history before saving. Describe the timeline in the words of the source. [1] [9] [11]
What do you note if no vital signs were measured? #
Mark explicitly that the vital signs are missing or were not discussed, and do not add any date, value or conclusion yourself that the source does not provide. Link the timeline to triage information and the contact, while ABCDE information remains your own assessment. Record vital signs next to the collateral history. [1] [9] [17]
Can you use Hysio during the acute care? #
No, do not use Hysio to triage. Carry out the acute assessment first, and only then record the ABCDE information in a source-bound way. Record vital signs and the collateral history with their origin and assess the timeline separately. Describe triage information in the words of the source, next to the ABCDE information. [9] [8] [17]
Who may receive the collateral history from you? #
First check the purpose, consent and recipient before you share information about the collateral history, and then record only what was actually agreed. Record triage information next to ABCDE information and assess vital signs only if this contact supports it. Work from the collateral history. [8] [11] [1]
Does Hysio decide the management plan based on the ABCDE? #
No, Hysio places the ABCDE information clearly under a heading, but does not choose a treatment or operation itself based on the vital signs. That decision and the monitoring of acute stability stay with you as an emergency physician. Place the collateral history next to the timeline and keep triage information with its origin. [9] [10] [17]
How do you write down that the time of onset is uncertain? #
Keep any doubt about the timeline visible and do not make the triage information more definite than the source allows; simply record the open question as such. Record ABCDE information and vital signs with the available origin and check the text about the collateral history before saving. This way a colleague can see which part of the timeline was still uncertain. [1] [17] [9]
What do you do when the ambulance crew and triage give different values? #
When sources differ about the vital signs, keep both readings side by side, and record their origin first before you make an assessment yourself. Link the timeline to triage information and the contact, while ABCDE information remains your own assessment. Record vital signs next to the collateral history, so a later reader can follow the difference themselves. [1] [11] [17]
How do you note medication given alongside the triage values? #
Copy medication details and triage information around the ABCDE information verbatim, including source and unit, and keep the assessment of acute stability with you as an emergency physician. Record vital signs and the collateral history with their origin and assess the timeline separately. Describe triage information in the words of the source. [1] [17] [9]
What do you check in the collateral history before saving? #
Read the text about the collateral history back next to the source and the date, and correct any errors in the timeline before you permanently save the details of acute stability. Record triage information next to ABCDE information and assess vital signs only if this contact supports it. Admin with AI does not change that: the final check stays with you as the emergency physician. [1] [8] [9] [11]
Introducing Hysio in the emergency department
Who reviews the collateral history for a handover to the ward? #
Before a handover, agree who reviews the text about the collateral history, and decide what information about the timeline is needed. Set the follow-up apart, so the recipient recognises it straight away. Link triage information to ABCDE information and the contact, while vital signs remain your own assessment. [10] [8] [11] [2]
Which standard headings for the ABCDE do you agree with your emergency department team? #
As a team, agree on fixed headings for ABCDE information and shared terms for vital signs, and record who ultimately approves the details of acute stability. Record the collateral history and timeline with their origin and assess triage information separately. Describe ABCDE information in the words of the source, next to the vital signs. [1] [2] [10]
How do you start a trial with one type of emergency department contact? #
First test working with the timeline in one clearly defined contact and collect the corrections to the triage information that turn out to be needed; only expand once the details of acute stability are correct. Record ABCDE information next to vital signs and discuss the corrections with your team, before you use voice-driven reporting more widely. [7] [8] [1]
How do you align a report on vital signs with your emergency department's agreements? #
Check the vital signs against the local headings your team uses and the collateral history against the applicable authorisations, and have a designated colleague check acute stability before you save. Place the timeline next to triage information and keep ABCDE information with its origin, so the local agreement takes precedence over a generic template. [10] [1] [17]
How do you record a reassessment after triage? #
State the time, what has changed since triage and what you have done. Hysio puts the reassessment after the first findings, so the timeline is correct. Only use Hysio once the acute care is over. You check the report before it goes into the record. [1] [17] [2]
How do you measure the time that recording the collateral history takes? #
Measure the time for the collateral history together with the checks and corrections your team carries out on it, and always give acute stability priority over a promised time percentage. Link triage information to ABCDE information and the contact, while vital signs remain your own assessment. A quick measurement is never a goal in itself. [1] [10] [7]
Which conditions apply to a trial with Hysio in the emergency department? #
For ABCDE information, first read Hysio's central trial conditions, and then use the free trial to assess how well the vital signs are recorded. Record the collateral history and timeline with their origin and assess triage information separately. Discuss the experience with your team afterwards, before you make a decision on wider introduction. [7] [6] [8]
Where can you read about costs and privacy if you use Hysio in the emergency department? #
You can find the cost of Hysio on the pricing page. For privacy and responsibilities in data processing, consult the legal overview. A timeline or triage item is not a separately priced product. Review the platform terms together with the agreements for use within your organisation. Assessing urgency and recording the acute care encounter follow from your profession, not from a subscription. [6] [8] [9]
How do you record your own abbreviations for vital signs? #
Agree within your team how you write vital signs, the timeline and commonly used abbreviations, so acute stability stays understandable for every colleague. Place the timeline next to triage information and keep ABCDE information with its origin. Record these agreements in writing and review them as soon as new colleagues join or the way of working changes. [1] [10] [17]
How do you keep track of a case with several triage moments? #
First split a complex case into the contact itself and the sources behind it, and then organise the ABCDE information, the findings and the follow-up without adding an extra conclusion of your own. Record vital signs and the collateral history with the available origin and check the text about the timeline before saving. [1] [17] [2] [9]
