Clinical notes:
15,000+ charting hours saved

We built an AI scribe that listens during the patient visit and drafts a structured clinical note. The provider reviews and approves the note before it reaches the health record.

The challenge

What was getting
in the way

Providers spent a large share of their time typing notes during visits or finishing documentation after the working day.

That cut into face-to-face time with patients, added to burnout, and meant documentation speed limited how many patients each clinician could see.

  • Provider burnout

    Charting after hours was eating into clinicians' personal time.

  • Fewer patients seen

    Documentation limited how many patients could be seen without a longer working day.

  • Delayed notes

    Writing notes later made it more likely that small but important details were forgotten.

The solution

What
we built

  1. 01

    Captures the conversation securely

    The system processes the clinical conversation during the visit and doesn't keep audio it no longer needs once the note is created.

Key features

What made it
useful

  • AMBIENT SCRIBE

    Drafts the clinical note from the conversation

    An ambient AI scribe captures the consultation and drafts a structured note in the hospital's EHR template.

    Business impact

    65% less documentation time

  • CLINICIAN APPROVAL

    Clinicians approve every note

    Audio no longer needed is deleted, and the clinician reviews, edits and approves every note before it is filed.

    Business impact

    Every note reviewed before filing

  • CLINICAL NOTE AI

    Clinical note drafting

    The AI separates clinically relevant information from general conversation and lays it out in the expected note format.

    Business impact

    65% less documentation time

  • PRIVACY

    Careful audio handling

    Audio and patient information go through a controlled workflow designed around healthcare privacy needs.

    Business impact

    Safer use of AI in clinics

  • PROVIDER REVIEW

    Provider approval

    Clinicians decide what is finally signed and added to the medical record.

    Business impact

    Notes checked by a clinician

Before and after

How the work
changed

Charting workflow

Before

Typed during or after the visit

Providers typed notes while seeing the patient or later in the day.

After

Ambient draft

The visit conversation becomes a draft note for the provider to review.

Patient data

Before

More manual handling

Documentation meant several tools and manual steps.

After

A controlled clinical workflow

The note follows a defined, secure path into the health record.

Note readiness

Before

Hours later

Notes could stay unfinished long after the appointment ended.

After

Ready after the visit

The draft is ready for review as soon as the appointment is over.

Results

Testimonial

What the client
says

“Documentation time is down 65% since the ambient scribe went live, and our clinicians still review and approve every note. That adds up to 15,000+ charting hours saved a year and capacity for 22% more patients.”

Trust and control

How we kept it
safe and reliable

  • 01

    Audio retention

    Temporary audio and intermediate content can be deleted once the approved note is complete.

    PRIVACY FOCUSED
  • 02

    Provider approval

    A clinician reviews and signs off every AI-generated note.

    HUMAN VERIFIED
  • 03

    Clinical data security

    Patient information moves through controlled systems built to protect sensitive clinical data.

    SECURE
  • 04

    Code and IP ownership

    The hospital owns the custom scribe workflows and EHR integrations built for the project.

    100% OWNED

Faster delivery

Built on tested foundations

These components were already tested, so the team could focus on the hospital's templates and EHR integration and launch sooner.

  • Secure audio handling

    Our tested audio pipeline processes the visit conversation and can remove temporary audio once the approved note is complete.

  • EHR mapping

    Existing EHR mapping components place each drafted section in the right part of the hospital's health record.

  • Clinical monitoring

    Clinical monitoring components track the scribe workflow in use, so the team can see how notes move from visit to sign-off.

  • AI cost controls

    Built-in cost controls keep note-generation spending predictable as more clinicians use the scribe.

Book a call

The scribe runs in the background during the patient visit and processes the conversation securely. AI separates clinically relevant details from general talk and organises them into the hospital's note sections and templates. The draft is ready as soon as the visit ends, and the provider reviews, edits and signs it before it reaches the record.

Take after-hours charting off your clinicians' plates

If your providers finish notes at night or type through appointments, we can build an ambient scribe that drafts the note during the visit and leaves sign-off with them.
