Voice Style Options

Formal

Best for: Traditional medical documentation, academic settings

Polished, highly professional clinical language with traditional medical documentation conventions.

Formal Example

The patient presents for routine medication management, specifically regarding their current ADHD treatment regimen and a request to discontinue duloxetine. History of Present Illness: The patient’s attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is currently managed with a combination of lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) 40 milligrams and extended-release amphetamine salts (Adderall XR)…

Structured

Best for: Balance between formality and readability

Organized with clear sections, professional but more approachable than Formal style.

Naturalistic (Default)

Best for: Most clinical documentation

Flows like natural conversation with a real-time documentation feel. Professional but not stiff.

Naturalistic Example

The patient presents for routine medication management, specifically regarding their current ADHD treatment regimen and a request to discontinue duloxetine. The patient’s attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is currently managed with a combination of lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) 40 milligrams and extended-release amphetamine salts (Adderall XR)…

Narrative

Best for: Providers who prefer story-like documentation

Fluid prose that tells a story and connects information cohesively.

Shorthand

Best for: Quick reference, abbreviated documentation

Clinical abbreviations and bulleted lists for maximum efficiency.

Shorthand Example

CC:

  • Routine med refills
  • ADHD med effectiveness concerns
  • Requests d/c duloxetine (Cymbalta)
  • Requests Vyvanse dose adjustment

HPI:

  • Currently on Vyvanse 40mg + Adderall XR for ADHD
  • Vyvanse less effective at current dose, requests bump to 50mg
  • Takes Vyvanse 7-8 AM, Adderall later in day

Tips

  • The preview uses the same clinical scenario across all styles so you can compare them directly.
  • Consider your EHR requirements and personal reading preferences when choosing.
  • Shorthand pairs well with Brief verbosity for maximum efficiency.
