AI Medical Scribe for

Neonatologists

Rounding on a full NICU census means a daily progress note for every baby — plus family meetings that deserve careful documentation. Medical Scribe drafts both from the conversations you're already having.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for neonatologists — ready before your patient leaves the room.

NICU Progress Note Ready to copy

Subjective

Baby boy R, ex-26+4 weeks, day of life 34 (31+3 corrected). Overnight team reports two brief self-resolving bradycardic episodes with feeds. Mother visited yesterday evening, did kangaroo care, and asked about progress toward coming off CPAP. No new concerns from the bedside nurse this morning.

Objective

Weight 1420g, up 22g. HR 148, RR 52, temp 36.9C. On CPAP 5 cmH2O, FiO2 23%. Feeds at 28 mL fortified expressed breast milk q3h via NG, tolerated with minimal aspirates. On caffeine citrate 10 mg/kg/day. Exam: soft anterior fontanelle, clear breath sounds with mild subcostal retractions, soft abdomen, warm and well-perfused. Yesterday's hemoglobin 10.4 g/dL.

Assessment

Ex-26-week infant with resolving respiratory distress on low CPAP support and appropriate growth trajectory. Bradycardic episodes with feeds consistent with prematurity, stable on caffeine. Anemia of prematurity, currently asymptomatic.

Plan

  • Trial FiO2 wean to 21%; consider CPAP wean to high-flow if stable 48 hours
  • Continue caffeine citrate 10 mg/kg/day; monitor apnea/bradycardia frequency
  • Advance feeds by 2 mL q3h as tolerated toward full volume; continue fortification
  • Repeat CBC Thursday; transfusion threshold per unit protocol
  • Update family at bedside this afternoon re: respiratory wean plan

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

NICU documentation scales with your census, not your hours

Twenty progress notes a day

Daily notes on every infant — respiratory support, feeds, growth, labs, active problems — consume hours after rounds, and each one has to stand alone for the covering team.

Family meetings carry weight

Antenatal counseling at the edge of viability, care conferences, and consent discussions are among the most consequential conversations in medicine — and among the hardest to document faithfully from memory.

Admissions don't wait for daylight

A 2am delivery means a full admission note — maternal history, delivery course, resuscitation, exam, and plan — written while you're stabilizing the patient.

Runs rounds with you

Present the baby the way you already do — overnight events, support settings, feeds, growth, exam, plan — and Medical Scribe drafts the daily progress note from it. Family updates at the bedside and formal care conferences are captured the same way, whether in person or by telehealth. Apps for iOS, Android, Web, Apple Watch, and Mac.

The Neonatologist’s note, structured for the NICU

Generated notes follow the built-in Neonatologist’s note template — Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan — capturing history of present illness, growth and nutrition detail, system-by-system exam findings, and a plan covering investigations, treatments with doses, referrals, and follow-up. Need your unit’s admission or systems-based format instead? Custom templates take minutes.

Counseling documentation you can stand behind

When you counsel parents at 23 weeks or discuss withdrawing support, what was said matters for years. Medical Scribe documents the actual conversation — the risks explained, the questions asked, the decisions reached — without inventing a word. You review and sign, so the record reflects exactly the discussion that happened.

Frequently asked questions

Can it document family meetings and counseling conversations, not just rounds?

Yes. Antenatal consults, care conferences, and consent discussions are recorded conversations like any visit — the note reflects what was actually discussed, including questions the family asked and the plan agreed. You review and sign before it enters the chart.

Does the note handle NICU-specific detail — corrected gestational age, support settings, weight-based dosing?

The note is generated from what's said, so corrected age, CPAP settings, FiO2, feed volumes, and mg/kg dosing appear as you stated them on rounds. The built-in Neonatologist's note template structures it into Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan. Medical Scribe never invents values that weren't mentioned.

Whose consent do I need when the patient is a neonate?

Recording consent works like any scribe or trainee present at the bedside: inform the parents or guardians per your unit's policy. Medical Scribe is HIPAA compliant and encrypted in transit and at rest.

We have unit-specific note formats. Can it match ours?

Yes. Start from the Neonatologist's note template or build a custom template in minutes to mirror your unit's daily progress note or admission note structure, including systems-based formats.
