What’s the difference between Consultation Summary and EpikVoice?
Last updated: 2026-05-26
EpikVoice is the full voice clinical note — 10 structured fields covering the whole visit, ideal when you want a complete record. Consultation Summary is shorter — a closing recap that captures sentiment and topics, useful when the procedure is done and you just want a quick "here is what happened" on file. Either can prefill the other.
Side by side
| Aspect | EpikVoice | Consultation Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Length | Full visit (minutes) | Brief recap (under a minute) |
| Structure | 10 clinical fields | Transcript + sentiment + extracted topics + summary |
| Best for | Documenting the visit in detail | Closing recap, dictating after the fact |
| Output | Saved as a clinical note on the timeline | Saved as a summary, or attached as a clinical-note prefill |
| Sentiment indicator | No | Yes (positive / neutral / negative) |
When to use which
- You sat down to document the visit properly — use EpikVoice.
- You finished a procedure and want a quick "we did X, patient was Y" recap — use Consultation Summary.
- You used Consultation Summary first and want to expand it into a full record — tap Attach to clinical note and it prefills an EpikVoice draft.
