## Managing Patient Encounters

Once you start an encounter, you’re welcomed with the "Patient" tab on the right and the conversation tab on the left.

Refer to the previous guide to understand how to start a new encounter on CARE:

{% content-ref url="/pages/UNe4fIXPejeW0pz8XQQe" %}
[Starting a New Encounter](/home/how-to/encounters/starting-a-new-encounter.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## Start/Stop Recording

1. Click on “Start Conversation” to start recording.&#x20;
2. Our AI Medical Scribe can capture any medical workflow - Outpatient, Inpatient, Home Health, Emergency, Surgical, or Ambulatory, we've got you covered!
3. Every 20 seconds, MarianaAI jumps into action.&#x20;
4. With the patient's history, the latest research findings, guidelines, drugs info, and the ongoing conversation, it dishes out notable insights for the physician.
5. You can choose to “pause” in between or “stop recording”.

## Generate Notes and Medical Codes

1. When you're done talking, hit the 'Generate Notes' button to whip up Clinical Documentation in your preferred template
2. Similarly, you can see the medical codes in required specifications (ICD-10 CM, CPT, and HCPCS are the standard trio).

## Export Options

Click on the "Export" option on the right-hand side of the window to export your notes and codes.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://resources.marianaai.com/home/how-to/encounters/managing-patient-encounters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
