Every order,
drafted before
you ask.

Labs, imaging, referrals, prescriptions. Drafted in the conversation. Ready when the clinician signs.

An example order-queue record: three orders pended, only one spoken aloud, signed in one pass, inside athenaOne.

How it works

Say the order. Script writes it.

01 The input

The clinician's voice,
in the visit.

"Order a CBC." "Refer to cardiology." "Send a script for metformin, 500 twice a day." Script hears the order as the clinician says it, and reads the chart as it drafts: problem list, active medications, allergies, formulary.

No separate order-entry interface. No click-path interruption. No dictation cleanup after the visit.

  • Voice input
  • In-conversation
  • Chart-context aware
  • No second workflow
02 The processing

Parsed, routed,
formulary-aware.

Script parses the order type (lab, imaging, referral, prescription) and routes each to the right draft form in athenaOne. Specialty-aware defaults shape each draft: a cardiology referral carries the right urgency and indication; a chest X-ray carries views and ICD-10 justification; a metformin refill carries dose, frequency, duration, refill count.

The formulary is in view from the first draft. Formulary lookup runs against the patient's PBM: preferred tier where covered, alternative on formulary where not, prior-auth surfaced when required. athenaOne's own safety checks (allergy, interaction, duplicate therapy) run exactly as they always do, and nothing transmits until the clinician resolves them and signs.

03 The output

Every order,
ready to sign.

Labs to lab orders. Imaging to imaging orders. Referrals to referral orders. Prescriptions to the pharmacy.

The clinician signs; the order goes. No post-visit dictation cleanup.

  • Discrete drafts
  • Single-click sign
  • Four order queues
In practice

Drafted in the visit. Signed in one pass.

Three orders pended by 9:41a, one spoken aloud. All signed with the note at 9:43a.

3 orders

pended in the visit, one spoken.

Discrete-data evidence

Where Script
writes.

01
The claim

Every Script output lands in a discrete athenaOne field as a signable draft: the order built in the form athenaOne expects, waiting only on the clinician's signature.

02
The primary fields

Lab orders draft into the lab order form with the right panel and diagnostic indication, tied to the diagnosis that earns it. Imaging orders draft with views, laterality, and ICD-10 justification. Referral orders draft with specialty, urgency, and the consult question pre-filled. Prescriptions draft with dose, route, frequency, duration, and refill count. Plain-language instructions flow to the pharmacy label and to the patient's after-visit note: the same guidance, written once, readable in both places.

03
Formulary at draft time

Every prescription draft carries the formulary answer with it (coverage tier, on-formulary alternative when the chosen drug isn't covered, prior-auth flag), so the coverage conversation happens in the room, not at the pharmacy counter. athenaOne's clinical safety checks run untouched: allergy, interaction, and duplicate-therapy rails fire exactly as they do for hand-entered orders, and the clinician resolves them before signing.

04
Clinician sign-off is the only human step

Script drafts; the clinician signs. Once signed, the order transmits, routes, and files like any other athenaOne order
