CLINICAL PROTOCOLS
Write your protocols with AI. Follow them in the room.
Your clinic's care protocols, drafted with an AI co-author, approved by a named reviewer, and checked off live while you see the patient. Every note then shows how the visit followed them.
1 · Write it
An AI co-author that drafts, and never edits behind your back.
Start a protocol three ways. Whichever you pick, the AI writes a complete first draft for you to edit.
- 01
From a brief
Describe the protocol in a few lines: who it's for, what to cover, what you've already decided. The AI drafts every section.
- 02
From a discussion
Record your doctors talking it through. The AI turns the conversation into a draft, with the decisions and the questions still open.
- 03
From a guideline
Upload a guideline or an existing protocol as PDF, Word or text. The draft cites the passages it drew on.
Ask for a change in plain words
Type or say what you want changed. The AI answers and shows its edit inline, struck through and underlined like tracked changes. Nothing changes until you keep it.
- Keep or discard each edit, or all of them at once
- Ask it to critique the protocol for gaps, ambiguity and safety issues
- Undo any kept change; every edit is in the protocol's history
2 · Agree it
Settle the open questions, then publish.
Where a choice is genuinely uncertain, the AI lists it as an open question instead of guessing. Your team settles each one, and a named reviewer approves the result.
- Assign each open question to a colleague; they're emailed
- Discuss it in a thread, then write the answer into the protocol
- Only the named reviewer can approve and publish
- A published version is locked; changes start a new version
3 · Use it
In the room, the protocol keeps track so you don't have to.
When a protocol is published, ScribeLive turns it into the questions to ask at the visit. You can edit that list. During the visit it sits beside the recording.
- 1
Attach the protocol
Pick it before you start recording. Its questions appear beside the recording.
- 2
Talk to your patient
With AI assistance on, each question ticks off as it's answered, with the words that answered it.
- 3
Or tick it yourself
Turn AI assistance off and tick questions by hand. That uses no AI credits.
- 4
Sign the note
The draft note says which steps were followed, deviated from or not addressed.
The patient never sees the protocol. If the live checklist stops working, the recording and the note carry on.
4 · See it followed
Every note shows how the visit followed the protocol.
When the note is drafted, the AI checks the visit against the protocol, step by step, and says why. The clinician reads it before signing. Across visits, each protocol shows how often its steps are followed.
- Followed, deviated or not addressed, for every step
- A one-line reason for each, taken from the visit
- Adherence totals per protocol, across your clinic's visits
Questions about protocols
Does the patient see the protocol?
No. A protocol is for the clinician. It sits beside the recording during the visit, and the patient only ever receives their plain-language visit summary.
Does the AI decide what happens to the patient?
No. The AI drafts the protocol for your clinicians to review, ticks off questions as they're asked, and gives its view of adherence in the draft note. The clinician runs the visit and signs the note, and only a named reviewer can publish a protocol.
Can we use the checklist without the AI listening?
Yes. Turn AI assistance off and tick each question yourself as you ask it. That uses no AI credits. With it on, the AI checks the conversation about four times a minute, which uses extra credits.
What happens if the live checklist stops working mid-visit?
The recording and the note carry on as normal. The checklist stops ticking on its own and says so, and you can tick the remaining questions yourself.
Can we change a protocol after it's published?
A published version is locked, so every visit is judged against the text that was approved. To change it, start a new version, which goes through review again. The checklist's wording can be corrected at any time, and every change is logged.
Where do our protocols come from?
Your clinic writes them. Start from a short brief, a recording of your doctors talking it through, or an existing guideline document (PDF, Word or text), and the AI drafts the first version for you to edit.
