You have more ways to document than ever.

Every Freeman provider documents with Abridge or Dragon. Abridge listens to the visit and drafts the note; Dragon turns your voice into text on any Freeman workstation. Epic has no transcription service, so pick your tool below and set it up in one sitting.

Abridge is available to all Freeman providers

Starting at Epic go-live on October 24, Abridge is available to every Freeman provider: physicians, residents, advanced practice providers, and behavioral health clinicians. There is no license to request and no waitlist. Inpatient nursing will follow after go-live, starting with Med-Surg and step-down units.

New to Abridge? Plan about 30 minutes: start with Your First Visit, then set your note preferences in Make It Write Like You.

Help of a kind you have not had before. Abridge listens to the visit and drafts the note in clinic, in the ED, and on the floors. In clinic, it also queues the orders you said out loud.
