How Smart Macros Work
At the start of each procedure, you select a report format template. During dictation or typing, you can insert pre-written clinical findings macros with a single click. These macros are complete paragraphs covering normal findings, common pathologies, or post-procedure instructions.
Macros are organized by procedure type — your gastroscopy macros stay separate from colonoscopy ones. Each doctor maintains their own library, but common macros can be shared. Once inserted, the text becomes fully editable for case-specific modifications.
Build your macro library once, and watch your reporting speed increase dramatically. What took 5 minutes of typing now takes 5 seconds of clicking. Perfect for busy OT schedules where every minute counts.
From typing to inserting in seconds
Build Your Library
Create macros for your most common findings — normal mucosa, polyp descriptions, stone fragments, strictures, and more. Organize by procedure type for easy access.
Select & Insert
During the procedure, click the macro button and choose from your library. The complete clinical paragraph inserts instantly into your findings field.
Edit & Finalize
Modify the inserted text for the specific case — add measurements, adjust descriptions, or delete unnecessary parts. The macro is your starting point, not a restriction.
Why macros transform endoscopy reporting
Consistent Clinical Language
Every report uses the same professional terminology and structure. No more variations in how different doctors describe the same findings.
5 Minutes Saved Per Case
Typing detailed clinical findings takes time. Macros reduce this to seconds. On a 20-case week, that's nearly 2 hours returned to patient care.
NABH Documentation Standards
Structured, complete clinical descriptions meet NABH requirements. Macros ensure nothing is missed in the rush of a busy OT schedule.
Macros work best with these
I used to spend 10 minutes typing the same stone description for every URS case. Now I click once and it's done. The macros are customizable too — I can add the specific measurements and laser settings for each case. It's saved me hours every week.
Individual results may vary. Time savings depend on procedure volume and macro usage.
