DeepScribe is an AI medical scribe for clinicians, not an app for patients. Your doctor may use DeepScribe to record your visit (with your permission) so that the computer can write the medical note for them. The clinician then reviews and signs the note in the chart. The goal is to reduce how much time clinicians spend typing so they can focus more on you during the visit. DeepScribe does not make diagnoses, prescribe medications, or replace your clinician’s judgment.
AI Medical Scribe
For clinicians, DeepScribe is intended to shrink the amount of time spent typing notes so more time can be spent face-to-face with patients. For patients, this can mean your clinician looks at the computer less and you more, while still documenting carefully. The clinician always reviews and signs notes—DeepScribe is an assistant, not a replacement for their professional judgment.
DeepScribe is generally best for clinicians and practices who:
DeepScribe passively listens to the clinician–patient conversation using a microphone or mobile device in the exam room (or in a telehealth session). The system is designed to detect medically relevant details from natural conversation without forcing the clinician to dictate in rigid templates.
Evidence: Ambient capture allows more natural interaction but depends on room acoustics, microphone placement, and background noise. Clinician review remains essential.
Based on the captured conversation, DeepScribe generates a structured note aligned to standard sections (for example, HPI, ROS, Past Medical History, Physical Exam, Assessment & Plan). Notes are tailored to the specialty and can be configured to match clinic preferences.
Evidence: Standardized sections can improve readability and may support coding and quality measurement, but the note is only as accurate as the captured conversation and clinician review.
DeepScribe integrates with common EHR systems via secure connections and BAAs. Generated notes can be opened, edited, and signed within or alongside the EHR, reducing double documentation and copy-paste.
Evidence: Tight integration can reduce clicks and improve adoption, but setup requires IT coordination and configuration specific to each health system.
The system supports multiple specialties (e.g., primary care, cardiology, orthopedics, psychiatry) with templates and note structures tuned to those workflows.
Evidence: Specialty-tuned templates can improve perceived note relevance, but clinicians still need to adjust content to individual patient circumstances.
Clinicians can edit and approve notes before signing. Organizations can configure standard phrases, macro content, and documentation policies to align with coding and compliance requirements.
Evidence: Human-in-the-loop review and organizational policies are key safeguards to prevent over-reliance on automation and to maintain documentation quality.
DeepScribe uses a subscription model for clinicians and practices. Specific pricing is typically quote-based and may vary by practice size, specialty, contract terms, and integration needs.

DeepScribe is a clinician workflow tool and is not billed to patient insurance. Costs are typically borne by the clinic, group, or health system and may be justified as an operational expense to reduce documentation burden and support clinician retention.
Access to generated notes, configuration options, and workflows through a secure web interface or desktop companion application integrated with the EHR.
Mobile apps or companion interfaces (where available) to capture audio, review notes, and manage encounters on compatible smartphones or tablets.
DeepScribe is designed as a HIPAA-compliant Business Associate with encryption, access controls, and contractual commitments not to use PHI for unrelated advertising or general-purpose AI model training. Grade: A-
DeepScribe positions itself as a HIPAA Business Associate and signs BAAs with covered entities. Clinicians and organizations remain responsible for ensuring that use of the tool complies with local laws, organizational policies, and patient consent requirements.
Another ambient AI clinical documentation tool with a focus on capturing patient–clinician conversations and generating structured notes. Feature sets and EHR integrations differ by vendor; organizations often compare multiple scribes before choosing.
AI medical scribe and voice assistant that helps clinicians generate notes and perform EHR tasks by voice. May be preferred by clinicians who want both scribing and general voice assistant capabilities.
Enterprise-grade ambient clinical documentation solution integrated with leading EHRs. Often used in large health systems; implementation and pricing are typically part of broader vendor relationships.
