Send SOAP Notes

You can complete Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan (SOAP) notes and then send the notes to NextGen® Enterprise EHR.

The Google™ Speech-to-Text (STT) tool in integration with the Gemini™ 1.5 Pro model automatically corrects the dictated notes for grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors without disrupting the dictation streaming service.
