Customizing Your EMR Note Settings with the Magic Wand Feature

The Magic Wand feature allows you to customize your note output using real examples from your past documentation. By analyzing these examples, it learns your preferred style, tone, and structure—helping generate notes that match how you naturally document.

Why Use the Magic Wand

The Magic Wand simplifies customization by learning directly from your examples. This means:

• Output matches your real documentation style
• Formatting stays consistent
• Setup is quick and easy
• You can refine results over time

Configure your Magic Wand instructions during your initial setup of Comprehend AI — before you start using it for live notes. Starting with well-trained instructions means your AI is accurate and useful from day one, rather than requiring corrections after the fact.
