How to Use Abridge for CDS prompt workflows

Abridge works well for cds prompt workflows when you run it like production work: locked brief, SOURCE facts, then no public pricing focused on med reconciliation. Confirm live plans on www.abridge.com. Start at /explore/abridge.

This guide focuses on cds prompt workflows in detail. Related Abridge articles: /blog/how-to-use-abridge-for-enterprise-deployment-governance, /blog/how-to-use-abridge-for-ambient-encounter-capture, /blog/how-to-use-abridge-for-draft-note-review-and-sign-off.

When this workflow is the right job

Use cds prompt workflows when the deliverable is specifically this Abridge job. Switch to ambient encounter capture when that workflow already owns the asset.

Step by step workflow

1. Brief CDS prompt workflows

Write what must stay true for cds prompt workflows in Abridge before settings or spend.

Brief: CDS prompt workflows
Keep: team huddle from SOURCE
Avoid: invented pricing or features
Success: one reviewable output

2. Open Abridge for CDS prompt workflows

Use the Abridge surface that owns cds prompt workflows. Do not mix a neighboring workflow in the same pass.

Surface: CDS prompt workflows
Start: clinician sign off
Plans: www.abridge.com

3. Pilot CDS prompt workflows

Run a single cds prompt workflows pilot. Score clarity, grounding, and whether team readable still matches.

[ ] SOURCE facts match
[ ] telehealth note clear
[ ] Settings logged

4. Refine CDS prompt workflows

Change one cds prompt workflows dimension only. Save a template with variables for problem list sync.
