Keyboardless prescription.

Overview

Dictation turns spoken clinical intent into structured prescription drafts. Doctors stay with the patient instead of hunting through drug lists — Casspien listens, structures the Rx, and leaves a clear review step before anything is finalized.

The problem

In a busy OPD, writing a full prescription by keyboard steals minutes from every consult. Doctors type drug names, doses, frequencies, and durations while the patient waits — or worse, they rush and introduce typos. Multi-drug scripts for chronic cases are especially painful. Clinics need speed without giving up clinical control.

What dictation does

Casspien Dictation is a voice-first prescription workflow inside the consult screen. When a doctor is ready to prescribe, they start a dictation session and speak naturally — medicine names, strengths, how often to take them, and for how long.

Casspien converts that speech into a structured draft: line items with drug, dose, frequency, duration, and optional instructions. The draft appears on screen for review. The doctor can edit any field, add or remove lines, then confirm. Only after confirmation does the prescription become part of the patient record and downstream billing.

Dictation does not silently send prescriptions. It accelerates entry. Accountability stays with the clinician.

Why clinics adopt it

Most clinic software assumes the keyboard is the only way to capture an Rx. That works for short scripts; it breaks down when OPD volume is high or when doctors prefer to keep eye contact with the patient.

Dictation fits the real rhythm of a consult: examine, decide, speak the plan, glance at the draft, sign. Reception and pharmacy still see a clean, structured prescription — not a voice note they have to interpret.

Where it sits in Casspien

Dictation lives in the same consult → prescribe → bill path as typed prescriptions. It does not create a parallel system. Once signed, the Rx behaves like any other Casspien prescription for history, reprints, and reporting.

Who it's for

• Consulting physicians who want faster Rx entry
• Busy OPDs where keyboard time cuts into patient time
• Clinics standardizing prescription language across doctors
• Specialists who routinely write multi-drug chronic scripts

How it works

1. 1

   Start a voice session

   From the consult screen, open dictate. Casspien captures speech in a secure clinical context tied to that patient and visit.

2. 2

   Draft the prescription

   Spoken medicines, doses, frequency, and duration are mapped into structured Rx lines using common OPD phrasing and your formulary patterns.

3. 3

   Review and sign

   Edit anything in one pass, then confirm. The signed Rx flows into the patient record, follow-up planning, and billing.

Capabilities

What you can do

• Dictate single or multi-drug prescriptions in one session
• Correct dose, frequency, or duration before signing
• Keep speaking while staying on the consult screen
• Reuse the signed Rx in history, print, and billing like a normal script
• Reduce reliance on search-and-click drug pickers for routine cases

Example: evening OPD, diabetes follow-up

A physician finishes examining a returning patient and says the updated regimen aloud. Casspien drafts metformin and the companion medicines with doses and duration. The doctor glances at the draft, changes one frequency, signs — and moves to the next patient while the Rx is already on the record.

Outcomes

• Shorter prescription turnaround per consult
• Fewer typing errors on complex multi-drug scripts
• More face time with patients during peak OPD hours
• Consistent structured Rx data for pharmacy and reporting
