TikDoc Will Integrate Short Videos into Haiku, Canto, and Rover  

A new feature in Epic will allow clinicians to record short-form video notes instead of traditional text-based documentation. TikDoc, fully integrated into Haiku, Canto, and Rover, ensures that doctors and nurses can film, edit, and post patient updates from any device. 

With TikDoc, clinicians can document key patient information in dynamic video format, complete with background music, auto-generated captions, and optional face filters.  

The May 2025 release of Epic will include additional enhancements, including: 

  • “Get Ready (for Rounds) With Me” (#GRRWM)—Clinicians showcase their pre-rounding routine 
  • Duets that allow clinicians to interact with each other on a split-screen view 
  • Hashtag diagnosis challenges (e.g., #PneumoniaOrFlu) 
  • AI-powered filters that can transform blurry night-shift videos into high-quality documentation 

“Now I look forward to editing my notes,” said Mark Mabus, MD. “It’s a creative outlet for me—adding trending audio, stitching my colleagues’ notes, and watching views when a really good note goes viral. Charting has become fun.” 

Others are less thrilled. “I did not go to medical school to lip sync lab results,” complained Howard Bregman, MD. “Do you know how hard it is to explain a cardiac catheterization in under 30 seconds?”
