AI medical scribe for family medicine

A family physician's morning runs from a six-week well-baby check to an eighty-year-old's heart failure review. ScribeLive follows whatever the visit turns out to be — acute complaint, chronic review, or both at once — and writes a SOAP note that keeps them apart, with ICD-10 suggestions for each problem.

Sample family medicine SOAP note

A 14-minute visit booked for a sore throat that became a diabetes review too. ScribeLive split it into three problems; the clinician signed it unchanged.

ASSESSMENT & PLAN · BY PROBLEM

1. Acute pharyngitis (J02.9)

Three days of sore throat, no cough, tender anterior cervical nodes, temp 100.6 °F. Rapid strep positive. Amoxicillin 500 mg BID for 10 days.

2. Type 2 diabetes without complications (E11.9)

Due for review. HbA1c 8.1% on labs drawn last month, not yet discussed. Metformin 1 g BID continued; referred to the practice diabetes nurse.

3. Immunization status

Influenza vaccine declined last fall, accepted today. Administered in clinic; lot number recorded in the clinic's vaccine field.

Why family physicians use ScribeLive instead of a general-purpose scribe

It handles two visits in one slot

Patients bring the second problem up at the door. The note treats it as its own problem, with its own assessment and plan, instead of appending it to the first.

It knows who else is in the room

Spouses, parents and adult children all speak during family medicine visits. What belongs in the history goes into the note; the rest stays out.

The patient leaves knowing the plan

Each visit ends with a plain-language summary of what changed and what happens next, which is where most follow-up calls come from.

Family medicine FAQ

Can one scribe cover newborns through geriatrics?

Yes. ScribeLive drafts from what was actually said in the visit rather than from a fixed age-specific template, so the same setup covers a well-baby check and a heart failure review.

What happens when a patient raises a second problem at the end?

It becomes its own numbered problem in the note, with its own assessment, plan and ICD-10 suggestion.

Does it suggest billing (CPT / E&M) codes?

Not today. ScribeLive suggests ICD-10 diagnosis codes; billing codes stay with your existing process.
