AI Medical Scribe for

Pediatric Intensive Care Specialists

A PICU day is vent weans, drips, fluid balances, and family updates — documented bed after bed. Medical Scribe drafts daily notes and family-meeting records from what's said on rounds, so charting stops competing with care.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for pediatric intensive care specialists — ready before your patient leaves the room.

PICU Daily Note Ready to copy

Subjective

Day 3 of PICU admission for 4-month-old F with RSV bronchiolitis. Overnight: two brief self-resolving desaturations to 88%; NG feeds at two-thirds maintenance tolerated without vomiting. Parents at bedside overnight, updated on ward round this morning.

Objective

  • T 37.2, HR 142, RR 46, SpO2 94% on HFNC 8 L/min, FiO2 35% (down from 45%)
  • Weight 6.2 kg; cumulative fluid balance +40 mL over 24 h
  • Moderate subcostal retractions, bilateral crackles, fair air entry throughout
  • Capillary gas: pH 7.36, pCO2 48; no apnoeas on monitoring

Assessment

RSV bronchiolitis, day 3, improving on high-flow support and now in the weaning phase. Hydration adequate on NG feeds; no signs of secondary bacterial infection.

Plan

  • Wean FiO2 to keep SpO2 at or above 92%; trial flow reduction to 6 L/min this afternoon
  • Advance NG feeds to full maintenance if respiratory status remains stable
  • Minimal handling, nasal suction as needed
  • Update parents after the afternoon wean; anticipate ward transfer in 24-48 h if trajectory holds

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

PICU documentation is a second shift layered on the first

Rounds move faster than notes

A full unit means a dozen multi-system daily notes, each summarizing overnight events, current support, and today's plan — written in the gaps between deteriorations.

The data density is extreme

HFNC flows, FiO2, infusion rates in mcg/kg/min, cumulative fluid balance, gas results — a single note carries more numbers than most clinics see in a day, and each must be right.

Family conversations deserve a faithful record

Updates and goals-of-care discussions with parents are among the most important events of a PICU stay, and the hardest to document well from memory hours later.

Rounds become notes while you’re still rounding

Present the patient, examine, agree the plan, move to the next bed — Medical Scribe records each bedside discussion and drafts the daily note from it. By the time rounds finish, the documentation is waiting for review instead of waiting for a free hour that never comes.

Structured like the Pediatric Intensive Care Specialist’s note

Drafts follow the built-in template: Subjective for overnight events, interval history, and family communication; Objective for vitals, respiratory support, examination by system, and gas and lab results; Assessment with the working diagnosis and trajectory; and Plan covering weans, feeds, investigations, and family updates. One of 280+ built-in templates, with custom unit-specific formats built in minutes.

An honest record when acuity is high

In intensive care, a note that invents a finding is a hazard. Medical Scribe documents only what was said and observed at the bedside — no fabricated settings, no inferred exam findings — and every draft is reviewed and signed by you before it becomes part of the record.

Frequently asked questions

Can it produce a usable note from a bedside round with the whole team talking?

Yes. The draft is assembled from the discussion — overnight events, examination comments, and the agreed plan — and structured into the Pediatric Intensive Care Specialist's note. You review and edit before signing, which is where cross-talk artifacts get caught.

Does it record support settings and infusion rates correctly?

It documents them exactly as verbalized — flow, FiO2, rates in mcg/kg/min, fluid balance. It never reads a monitor or infers a setting; only what was said or observed in the encounter enters the note, and you verify every value.

Can it document family meetings and goals-of-care discussions?

Yes. Recording the meeting produces an accurate account of what was explained, what the family asked, and what was agreed — often the most medico-legally important documentation of the admission. Consent the family as you would for any scribe.

Is it secure enough for an ICU environment?

Medical Scribe is HIPAA compliant with encryption in transit and at rest, and runs on iOS, Android, Web, Apple Watch, and Mac — so it works at the bedside, on rounds, or in the family meeting room.
