## 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:

{% 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.
