Choosing an AI scribe for multiple specialties

A scribe that writes a good family medicine note can still miss a mental status exam, a fracture classification, or an obstetric history. If your clinic spans specialties, judge each scribe on how its notes change by specialty, not on one demo visit.

What changes from one specialty to the next

Note structure changes first. Psychiatry needs a mental status exam and risk assessment, surgery needs operative and procedure notes, OB/GYN tracks gravida and para, and pediatrics tracks growth and development. A scribe should draft those sections in the order your specialty charts them.

Terminology and outputs change too. Specialists dictate drug names, scales and classifications a general model can garble, and they send consult letters, referral replies and forms as often as visit notes.

Five things to test

1. Templates per specialty. Scribeberry starts from 2,000+ templates across 100+ specialties, and you can upload a sample note so it copies your format.

2. Terminology on real visits. Record a typical encounter from each specialty and count the edits per note.

3. Languages. Scribeberry captures and writes notes in 40+ languages, including French, which matters in mixed-language clinics.

4. Letters and forms from the same visit. Check that one encounter can produce the note, a referral or consult letter, and a completed PDF form.

5. One EMR workflow for everyone. Every specialty should send notes the same way. Scribeberry works with 22 EMRs, through Accuro's official API, the Chrome extension or the desktop app.

Run a two-week pilot

Pick two or three clinicians from different specialties. Have each use the scribe on ten consented visits. Track minutes from end of visit to signed note, edits per note, and after-hours charting. Compare scribes on the same measures.

Scribeberry Pro is $99/month per provider with unlimited use, and every account starts with a free trial, so a pilot costs nothing up front. See how it handles family medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, OB/GYN, internal medicine and surgery on the specialty pages.
