StartMedicalScribeJob

Transcribes patient-clinician conversations and generates clinical notes.

AWS HealthScribe automatically provides rich conversation transcripts, identifies speaker roles, classifies dialogues, extracts medical terms, and generates preliminary clinical notes. To learn more about these features, refer to AWS HealthScribe.

To make a StartMedicalScribeJob request, you must first upload your media file into an Amazon S3 bucket; you can then specify the Amazon S3 location of the file using the Media parameter.

You must include the following parameters in your StartMedicalTranscriptionJob request:

DataAccessRoleArn: The ARN of an IAM role with the these minimum permissions: read permission on input file Amazon S3 bucket specified in Media, write permission on the Amazon S3 bucket specified in OutputBucketName, and full permissions on the AWS KMS key specified in OutputEncryptionKMSKeyId (if set). The role should also allow transcribe.amazonaws.com to assume it.
Media (MediaFileUri): The Amazon S3 location of your media file.
MedicalScribeJobName: A custom name you create for your MedicalScribe job that is unique within your AWS account.
OutputBucketName: The Amazon S3 bucket where you want your output files stored.
Settings: A MedicalScribeSettings obect that must set exactly one of ShowSpeakerLabels or ChannelIdentification to true. If ShowSpeakerLabels is true, MaxSpeakerLabels must also be set.
ChannelDefinitions: A MedicalScribeChannelDefinitions array should be set if and only if the ChannelIdentification value of Settings is set to true.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

ChannelDefinitions

Makes it possible to specify which speaker is on which channel. For example, if the clinician is the first participant to speak, you would set ChannelId of the first ChannelDefinition in the list to 0 (to indicate the first channel) and ParticipantRole to CLINICIAN (to indicate that it's the clinician speaking). Then you would set the ChannelId of the second ChannelDefinition in the list to 1 (to indicate the second channel) and ParticipantRole to PATIENT (to indicate that it's the patient speaking).

Type: Array of MedicalScribeChannelDefinition objects

Array Members: Fixed number of 2 items.

Required: No

DataAccessRoleArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an IAM role that has permissions to access the Amazon S3 bucket that contains your input files, write to the output bucket, and use your AWS KMS key if supplied. If the role that you specify doesn’t have the appropriate permissions your request fails.

IAM role ARNs have the format arn:partition:iam::account:role/role-name-with-path. For example: arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/Admin.

For more information, see IAM ARNs.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20. Maximum length of 2048.

Pattern: ^arn:(aws|aws-cn|aws-us-gov|aws-iso-{0,1}[a-z]{0,1}):iam::[0-9]{0,63}:role/[A-Za-z0-9:_/+=,@.-]{0,1024}$

Required: Yes

KMSEncryptionContext

A map of plain text, non-secret key:value pairs, known as encryption context pairs, that provide an added layer of security for your data. For more information, see AWS KMS encryption context and Asymmetric keys in AWS KMS.

Type: String to string map

Map Entries: Maximum number of 10 items.

Key Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2000.

Key Pattern: .*\S.*

Value Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2000.

Value Pattern: .*\S.*

Required: No

Media

Describes the Amazon S3 location of the media file you want to use in your request.

For information on supported media formats, refer to the MediaFormat parameter or the Media formats section in the Amazon S3 Developer Guide.

Type: Media object

Required: Yes

MedicalScribeJobName

A unique name, chosen by you, for your Medical Scribe job.

This name is case sensitive, cannot contain spaces, and must be unique within an AWS account. If you try to create a new job with the same name as an existing job, you get a ConflictException error.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 200.

Pattern: ^[0-9a-zA-Z._-]+

Required: Yes

OutputBucketName

The name of the Amazon S3 bucket where you want your Medical Scribe output stored. Do not include the S3:// prefix of the specified bucket.

Note that the role specified in the DataAccessRoleArn request parameter must have permission to use the specified location. You can change Amazon S3 permissions using the AWS Management Console. See also Permissions Required for IAM User Roles.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 64.

Pattern: [a-z0-9][\.\-a-z0-9]{1,61}[a-z0-9]

Required: Yes

OutputEncryptionKMSKeyId

The KMS key you want to use to encrypt your Medical Scribe output.

If using a key located in the current AWS account, you can specify your KMS key in one of four ways:

Use the KMS key ID itself. For example, 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
Use an alias for the KMS key ID. For example, alias/ExampleAlias.
Use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the KMS key ID. For example, arn:aws:kms:region:account-ID:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
Use the ARN for the KMS key alias. For example, arn:aws:kms:region:account-ID:alias/ExampleAlias.

If using a key located in a different AWS account than the current AWS account, you can specify your KMS key in one of two ways:

Use the ARN for the KMS key ID. For example, arn:aws:kms:region:account-ID:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
Use the ARN for the KMS key alias. For example, arn:aws:kms:region:account-ID:alias/ExampleAlias.

If you do not specify an encryption key, your output is encrypted with the default Amazon S3 key (SSE-S3).

Note that the role specified in the DataAccessRoleArn request parameter must have permission to use the specified KMS key.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.

Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9:_/+=,@.-]{0,2048}$

Required: No

Settings

Makes it possible to control how your Medical Scribe job is processed using a MedicalScribeSettings object. Specify ChannelIdentification if ChannelDefinitions are set. Enabled ShowSpeakerLabels if ChannelIdentification and ChannelDefinitions are not set. One and only one of ChannelIdentification and ShowSpeakerLabels must be set. If ShowSpeakerLabels is set, MaxSpeakerLabels must also be set. Use Settings to specify a vocabulary or vocabulary filter or both using VocabularyName, VocabularyFilterName. VocabularyFilterMethod must be specified if VocabularyFilterName is set.

Type: MedicalScribeSettings object

Required: Yes

Tags

Adds one or more custom tags, each in the form of a key:value pair, to the Medica Scribe job.

To learn more about using tags with Amazon Transcribe, refer to Tagging resources.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 200 items.

Required: No
