AI Medical Scribe for

Anatomical Pathologists

Your hands are in the specimen when the findings are freshest. Medical Scribe captures your spoken gross description and drafts a structured report — no typing with gloves on, no dictation backlog.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for anatomical pathologists — ready as soon as you finish dictating.

Surgical Pathology Ready to copy

Clinical Information

63M with sigmoid adenocarcinoma diagnosed on colonoscopy, presenting for high anterior resection. No neoadjuvant therapy.

Specimen

Sigmoid colectomy, received fresh, labeled with patient identifiers and 'sigmoid colon'. Specimen length 220mm with attached mesocolon.

Macroscopic Description

Ulcerated tumor 42 x 35mm, located 60mm from the distal margin. On sectioning, tumor invades through the muscularis propria into pericolic fat. Proximal and distal margins macroscopically clear. Seventeen lymph node candidates retrieved from the mesocolon. Representative blocks taken; block key recorded.

Microscopic Description

Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma invading pericolic adipose tissue. No lymphovascular or perineural invasion identified. All margins clear; circumferential margin 8mm. Zero of seventeen lymph nodes involved.

Diagnosis

  • Sigmoid colon, high anterior resection: moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma
  • pT3 N0; margins clear
  • 0/17 lymph nodes involved

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

Pathology reporting is dictation-heavy by design

Grossing with gloves on

Specimen dimensions, tumor size, margin distances, block designations — the details must be captured the moment you see them, and you can't touch a keyboard mid-dissection.

Free-form speech, structured reports

Findings come out as a stream of spoken observations, but the final report needs consistent sections — macroscopic, microscopic, diagnosis — in the same order, every case.

Deferred dictation becomes backlog

Every case described from memory later is slower, riskier, and another hit to turnaround time. Sign-out queues grow when documentation trails the bench.

AI-Powered Documentation

Real-time transcription that understands medical terminology and clinical context.

Specialty Vocabulary

Recognizes terms, conditions, and procedures specific to your practice area.

HIPAA Compliant

Enterprise-grade encryption and security to protect sensitive data.

From cut-up bench to sign-out

Anatomical pathology runs on speech: gross descriptions dictated over the bench, findings called out during frozen sections, case summaries spoken at the microscope. Medical Scribe records what you say as you work and returns a structured, editable draft — so the description is done when the specimen goes in the cassette, not hours later from memory.

Reports in your lab’s structure

Build a custom template in minutes that mirrors how your reports are actually organized — Clinical Information, Specimen, Macroscopic Description, Microscopic Description, Diagnosis — or a synoptic-style layout per specimen type. Your spoken measurements, margin distances, and block keys are sorted into those sections automatically, ready for your microscopic findings and sign-out.

Nothing in the report you didn’t say

A pathology report is the diagnosis of record, so fidelity is everything. Medical Scribe never invents findings — no imagined dimensions, no assumed margins, no fabricated node counts. The draft reflects exactly what you dictated, and it stays a draft until you’ve verified every line and signed it out.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a built-in anatomical pathology template?

There's no dedicated anatomical pathology template among the 280+ built-ins, but custom templates take minutes to create — so you can mirror your lab's macroscopic/microscopic/diagnosis structure, or build synoptic-style layouts per specimen type, and reuse them on every case.

Can I dictate while grossing?

Yes — that's the natural fit. Medical Scribe records what you say on iOS, Android, Web, Apple Watch, or Mac, then generates a structured, editable draft. Your hands stay in the specimen; the measurements land in the right sections.

Will it add findings I didn't dictate?

No. The draft contains only what you actually said — it never invents a measurement, a margin distance, or a node count. Anything you didn't dictate is simply absent, flagged for you to complete at review.

Is the recording secure enough for patient specimens?

Yes. Medical Scribe is HIPAA compliant, with recordings encrypted in transit and at rest. Nothing is finalized until you review and sign out the report text yourself.
