World class software for clinicians
Despite Heidi's claims to be the best AI scribe tooling, at Medical Scribe we handcrafted the most reliable, butter smooth software to ensure that your scribing solution does not add friction to clinical work. Medical Scribe gives you unlimited template customization options so you can generate any document from a patient visit, from summary SOAP notes to referral letters.
Privacy
At Medical Scribe, we promise to never use medical information you provide us for any other purpose than documentation generation. We do not retain this data. Meanwhile, AI scribes like Heidi leave gaps in their privacy policy that lets them use your patient data to potential train and improve their AI models, which increases risks around patient privacy.
