Boost Your Clinical Efficiency with Templates & Snippets in Vero Scribe

Efficiency is something every healthcare professional strives for. Clinicians juggle complex patient presentations, critical decision-making, and the ever-present burden of documentation. Vero Scribe is designed to revolutionize the way you chart by automating repetitive tasks and letting you focus on patient care. This month, we’re thrilled to introduce two game-changing features—Templates and Snippets—crafted to save you even more time when scribing medical notes. Whether you’re a solo practitioner or part of a large health system, these tools will streamline your workflow and ensure consistency across every note.

Why Medical Documentation Templates Matter

Templates are the cornerstone of efficient documentation. As a scribe, you know that certain note structures—like ROS (Review of Systems), physical exam checklists, and discharge summaries—follow predictable patterns. Instead of starting from scratch each time, you can now:

Create custom templates anchored in your own style
Leverage existing notes to rapidly spin up new templates
Maintain consistency across patient encounters, reducing errors and omissions

By standardizing your documentation, templates not only save minutes per chart but also help you maintain a high level of accuracy. In the era of an AI scribe, this means the system learns your preferred phrases, specialty-specific jargon, and formatting conventions to deliver personalized templates that feel like second nature.

How to Build Your Own Template

Getting started with templates is intuitive:

Use an existing note - Select a past encounter that perfectly illustrates your documentation style and click “Create Template.”
Paste a note - Copy content from any note—clinic letter, consult summary, or procedure note—and transform it into a template in seconds.
Start from scratch - Prefer building block-by-block? Choose “Blank Template” and add sections like HPI, Assessment & Plan, and Follow-Up at your own pace.

Once created, your template becomes instantly available whenever you open a new patient encounter. As you type, the AI medical scribe engine auto-suggests sections, saving you precious keystrokes.

Introducing Snippets: Your Shortcut to Faster Notes

If templates are the blueprint, Snippets are the power drill. Snippets are reusable text shortcuts that let you insert frequently used phrases, instructions, or disclosures with just a few keystrokes. Simply type / in any note and select your snippet—no more copy-pasting or hunting through old notes.

Crafting Your Personal Snippet Library

Building a snippet is as easy as:

Clicking “Create Snippet” in the Snippets menu
Defining your trigger (e.g., /sign, /viral)
Typing the expanded text you want inserted

Form for creating a new snippet with fields for shorthand, description, and content in a medical scribe tool

Some sample snippets to jump-start your library:

/sign → Dr. Smith, MD | Family Medicine | St. Michael’s Hospital
/viral → Likely viral illness. Recommend rest, hydration, and symptomatic care. Return if fever exceeds 5 days or symptoms worsen.
/fup → Follow-up appointment in 2 weeks for blood pressure assessment and medication review.

With these shortcuts, you can insert standard phrases in an instant—and because Vero Scribe is an AI scribe, it learns which snippets you use most often, surfacing them at the top of your list for even faster access.

Discover Community Snippets

Looking for inspiration? The Community Snippets gallery is packed with peer-reviewed shortcuts contributed by other clinicians. From specialty-specific discharge instructions to patient education handouts, you can browse, preview, and save snippets directly to your personal library. This collaborative approach ensures that best practices for scribing medical details are shared across the entire Vero Scribe community.
