AWS HealthScribe Transcript file - Amazon Transcribe

AWS HealthScribe Transcript file

In the transcript file, in addition to standard turn-by-turn transcription output with word level timestamps, AWS HealthScribe provides you with:

  • Participant role detection so you can distinguish the patients from the clinicians in the conversation transcript.

  • Transcript sectioning, which categorizes transcript dialogues based on their clinical relevance like small talk, subjective, objective, etc. This can be used to show specific portions of the transcript.

  • Clinical entities, which includes structured information like medications, medical conditions, and treatments mentioned in the conversation.

In addition, the following insights are provided for each conversation turn:

  • Participant role — Each participant is labeled as either a clinician or a patient. If a conversation has more than one participant in each category, each participant is assigned a number. For example, CLINICIAN_0, CLINICIAN_1 and PATIENT_0, PATIENT_1.

  • Section — Each dialogue turn is assigned to one of four possible sections based on the content identified.

    • Subjective — Information provided by the patient about their health concerns.

    • Objective — Information observed by the clinician through physical exam, lab, imaging, or diagnostic tests.

    • Assessment and Plan — Information that relates to the doctor's assessment and treatment plan.

    • Visit Flow Management — Information related to small talk or transitions.

  • Insights — Extract clinically relevant entities (ClinicalEntity) present in the conversation. AWS HealthScribe detects all clinical entities supported by Amazon Comprehend Medical.
