About AI Diagnosis Assistant

This feature is available upon request for organizations using Vetspire AI.

Please contact Vetspire Support or your account representative to add AI Diagnosis Assistant to your Vetspire AI suite.

The AI Diagnosis Assistant feature is used during encounters to provide suggestions for testing, differentials, and diagnoses based on your SOAP notes.

AI Diagnosis Assistant uses the encounter data and key patient details (such as species, breed, age, and gender) to identify relevant information and cites sources from trusted veterinary journals.

Vetspire Recommends

AI Diagnosis Assistant looks at all information in the encounter, including notes synced from AI Scribe recordings and manually entered information.

If you are using AI Scribe, we recommend using Diagnosis Assistant after syncing so that the full encounter can be taken into account.

How AI Diagnosis Assistant Works

Once information is saved to the encounter, select the Diagnosis button at the bottom of the screen. (It’s right next to the AI Scribe microphone!)

Once Vetspire AI completes a synthesis of the encounter, the Diagnosis button displays a View option. Select View to open the AI Diagnosis Assistant window.

The AI Diagnosis Assistant window displays a brief summary of the Objective and Subjective findings as well as Immediate Recommendations for next care steps. Immediate Recommendations includes recommended tests and high-priority actions.

The AI Diagnostic Assistant then displays two sections: Differentials and Recommended Tests.

Differentials

Differentials in AI Diagnostic Assistant are possible diagnoses based on the encounter notes, organized by highest to lowest confidence. Each suggested differential has a clickable reference link to the related source.

Select the footnote to open a brief description of the differential from the source, then select the Open Link arrow AI DDX Reference arrow.png to display the source article in a new browser tab.

Recommended Tests

In AI Diagnosis Assistant, these are tests related to the suggested differentials, organized by highest to lowest priority. Each recommended test has a clickable reference link to the related source article.

Additional Notes About AI Diagnosis Assistant

  • The Recommended Tests section does not link to any in-house or reference labs integrated with Vetspire.

  • Information cannot be transferred from the AI Diagnosis Assistant window into the encounter, but you can copy and paste information from the window into the encounter or elsewhere in Patient Chart.

Chat with AI Diagnosis Assistant

When you use AI Diagnosis Assistant to view diagnostic and differential recommendations based on your SOAP notes, you can chat with Vetspire AI (using the same technology as AI Clinical Assistant) to ask questions and dive deeper into the AI’s recommendations.

To access the AI Diagnosis Assistant chat:
