Smart Impression

Smart Impression is a feature in PowerScribe One that uses generative AI to automatically draft the Impression section of a radiology report. It analyzes your dictation style and clinical content to generate draft impressions and recommendations that match your dictation style, helping you save time and reduce cognitive burden.

Note

Smart Impression inserts the generated Impression and Recommendation content into the first recognized Impression and, if present, Recommendation fields. When these fields already contain content, the generated content replaces the existing text in those fields.

Tip

To help ensure a consistent Smart Impression experience, organize report sections so that the Impression field appears before any Recommendation field. Smart Impression validates field order before generating content. If a Recommendation field is identified before the Impression field, Smart Impression does not generate content and displays the error message "Smart Impression has failed. Please contact the system administrator".

Note

By default, Impression (M) - Manual Smart Impression is selected.

Different methods to generate Smart Impression

  • Select the Impression(M) button located below the Report Editor screen.
  • Right-click on the Report Editor screen and select Generate Impression.
  • Use the voice command Generate Impression.
  • Press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+1.
  • Use the dropdown arrow and select Auto to generate automatic impression - Impression (A).

Note

  • When using Automatic Smart Impression, the system generates the draft impression only once. Any changes made to the body of the report afterward will not be reflected unless you manually regenerate the Smart Impression.
  • Review the generated draft Impression for accuracy. If edits are required, follow report editing best practices.

Smart Impression scenarios

Smart Impression will generate a draft impression and place it within your report based on the following scenarios:

  • If you are dictating a report using an AutoText without an Impression field, Smart Impression will automatically add a Text Field named Impression where the generated draft impression will populate.
  • If you are using an AutoText with a Text Field named Impression, the generated Smart Impression will replace any default or dictated text within the impression field. Any dictation outside of the field will remain.

AutoText best practices for use with Smart Impression

Use the following guidance when you configure report templates. These recommendations help provide a consistent user experience and support Smart Impression and recommendation generation. Select each tab to view the guidance.

  • Include findings in a section before the Impression section.
  • Keep findings and impression content in separate sections. Reports that combine both types of content in one section aren't supported.
  • Include findings in the report so Smart Impression can generate an adequate impression.
