What's new

  • Charting Canvas — pre-chart, pull prior notes forward, insert macros and record, all in one workspace. This is what we recommend for everyone; you may need to switch it on.

  • Your athenaOne dot macros now work in CarePilot. Type a period, pick the macro.

  • Rules — plain-language instructions that tell CarePilot how you practice, set at the org or provider level.

  • ~40 more languages, including multilingual visits that handle a second language alongside English.

  • Intake — in early pre-alpha, lets your MAs and nurses capture intake in CarePilot. One free intake license for every provider license you already pay for.

Charting Canvas

To turn it on: your initials (top right) → Profile and Preferences → Preferences → Charting Canvas. Make sure the toggle is blue. The legacy platform isn't going anywhere, but Canvas is where we'll keep adding functionality.

What you can do in it:

  • Pre-chart by typing or with macros. CarePilot treats it as context for the visit, not something to overwrite, and melds it with what you record.

  • Pull a prior note forward. Click the plus next to the field you want and pick from recent encounters. One plus pulls the whole note; the other pulls just that section — handy when you want last visit's Plan but not its patient instructions. Notes can come from athenaOne or from previous CarePilot visits.

  • Stack recordings. End a recording and resume it later to add more.

  • Switch templates safely. Your pre-charted Plan and other fields survive the switch.

  • Consent prompt is on by default. If your practice collects a signed paper consent instead, ask us and we'll turn it off.

Rules

Think of it as prompting: explain what you want the way you'd explain it to a medical student, and CarePilot follows your lead on every encounter after that.

Where: contact card (top right) → Profile and Preferences → Rules.

Scope them at the organization level (compliance language, required screenings, billing conventions), by department or site, or per provider. Every provider can build Rules for their own account; admins can build for everyone, a subset, or themselves.

Examples from the session:

  • If a depression or anxiety screen is administered, attach 96127 automatically.

  • If the encounter is in a skilled nursing facility, level it on the SNF family — never office E/M.

  • Route musculoskeletal referrals to the provider named in the room; if no one is named, don't guess — flag it for review.

Not sure how to word one? Ask Amelia — dictate what you're trying to accomplish and she'll give you the language. Or send it to us in the support channel and we'll write it with you.

Amelia — two surfaces, two jobs

  • Side panel (right) — the open chat. Referral and school/work letters, gap analyses, coding questions, chart review, missing screenings and overdue labs, clinical questions, and help writing Rules.

  • Control bar (bottom) — the AI editor. Edits the note only: "change my HPI from bullets to a paragraph." It won't pull in outside information or draft a letter.

Amelia drafts. She never signs.

Intake (pre-alpha)

Staff on an intake license land on the Intake tab when they open a patient. They start a recording and the fields fill in live — vitals, medications, allergies, problem list — writing into the longitudinal chart as the conversation happens. They then mark verified and mark ready for exam, and you walk into a chart that's already built.

Currently testing with a couple of organizations. No general-availability date yet. On intake login ratios: there's no strict number — talk to your CS contact.

The numbers

Out of the box: 78 minutes back per provider per day, 98% ICD-10 accuracy in-visit, and +1 net-new supported condition per encounter. In practices using the billing functionality, we've measured a 4–5% increase in RVUs and a 32% lift in same-day claims. Full figures, including a seven-month before-and-after case study at a multi-specialty clinic, are in the deck.

How Melissa-Jo uses it

She'd been spending two hours before her first patient and three hours a night charting. Now she closes her laptop at the end of the day with notes done.

  • Pre-charts in Canvas by dictating outside workup results — EKG, echo, stress test — because her rural clinic does most of the workup and patients wait months for specialists.

  • Asks Amelia to bring over pertinent labs while she preps.

  • Resumes the recording after the visit to add what she wouldn't say in the room.

  • Has Amelia write her Rules. Example: for type 2 diabetes follow-ups, always document whether the patient is on an SGLT2 or GLP-1.

  • Keeps templates for psych follow-ups, Medicare annual wellness, well-child, and complex multi-problem visits.

  • Runs chart review before sending — it catches things documented in the HPI or ROS but not supported in the exam findings.

  • Generates referral notes with Amelia from what she's already documented.

Next session

Wednesday, October 21 · 11:30 CT / 12:30 ET. Third Wednesday of each month, with a different provider featured each time. Every session is recorded and recapped, so missing one is no problem.

Office hours are coming — a standing drop-in block, no agenda. Details at the next session.

In the meantime, the support channel is always open for a question, a rule you want written, or a workflow you want a second opinion on.
