Revise a note with Magic edit

Magic edit rewrites the whole note from an instruction you type in plain words, like “make the plan a numbered list”. You see what changed, then keep the changes or undo them.

Use Magic edit

  1. Open the visit. In the side panel, under Something off?, press Fix it with Magic edit. On a phone or tablet the panel is under the note.
  2. Say what to change. Type the change in the box, or tap a suggestion: Replace patient’s name, Number the lists or Simplify patient instructions.
  3. Press Rewrite note. The note shows Rewriting the note…. You can’t type in it until the rewrite is done.
The Magic edit panel under Something off?: three suggestion buttons, an instruction box with the text Make the plan a numbered list, and Cancel and Rewrite note buttons.
Type an instruction or tap a suggestion.

Keep or undo the changes

When the rewrite lands, Review the changes opens above the note. It lists each changed section, with removed words struck through and added words underlined.

  • Press Keep changes to keep the new version.
  • Press Undo these changes to put the note back as it was.
  • Use Show the whole section to read a changed section in full.
The Review the changes panel: Keep changes and Undo these changes buttons, then the Visit summary with removed words struck through and the Plan with one added line.
Each changed section shows what was removed and added. The note is from a sample visit.

Until you choose, the note can’t be edited, marked reviewed or signed. If Magic edit didn’t change anything, SOAPsuds says so; try a more specific instruction.

Good to know

  • Magic edit works on the whole note. For a small fix in one section, it’s quicker to type straight into that section.
  • A rewrite puts a reviewed note back to draft, so read it again before you copy it.
  • On the Codes tab the same button reads Fix the codes with Magic edit. It changes the suggested codes, not the note.
  • Check what Magic edit wrote. It is a draft for your review, like the rest of the note.

If your notes are always off in the same way, change your template instead. Press Edit your template, just under Magic edit.
