WHY SCRIBELIVE
Six things that make ScribeLive different from a note-only AI scribe, and a straight list of what it doesn't do yet.
Most AI scribes hand the clinician a note and they're done. ScribeLive also writes the patient a plain-language summary, emails it when the note is signed, and keeps it in a patient portal with their vitals, reports and follow-up steps.
Why patient summaries matter →The patient's journey starts in the waiting room, so ScribeLive runs the clinic's live queue too: every doctor's list on one board, call next, and a "your turn" alert to the patient. One login for reception, nurses and doctors.
Running a calmer waiting room →Clinics write their protocols with an AI co-author, review and publish them, and during the visit ScribeLive ticks the protocol's questions as they're asked. Every note then shows which steps were followed, deviated from or missed.
See how protocols work →The AI is instructed not to add diagnoses or causes nobody mentioned. Assessment and plan points are linked to the moment in the recording they came from, so checking a line takes one click before the clinician signs.
How ambient AI scribes work →The recording is deleted the moment the note is signed, and unsigned recordings are deleted automatically after 72 hours by default. Clinical records are encrypted in the database, each clinic is isolated at the database level, and every view is logged.
Read the security page →It runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or laptop, so a solo practitioner can start the same day. Groups add regions and offices with administrators at each level, and hand AI sessions down the organization so usage stays predictable.

“Note-only AI scribe” describes the category in general, not any one product. Ask every vendor to show you each row on a live demo.
