“I used to spend hours finishing my charts after dinner. Now, I leave the clinic on time—and I’m more present with my patients.”
— Dr. Asha Mehta, Internal Medicine

The Growing Cost of Documentation Fatigue

Physician burnout is no longer a silent crisis—it’s a measurable epidemic. Studies estimate that doctors spend up to 2 hours on EHR work for every hour of patient care. Documentation, once a tool to preserve clinical accuracy, has ballooned into a time-consuming burden.

The impact?

• Missed family dinners

• Increased error rates

• Early retirements

• And a dangerous decline in patient trust

The Rise of AI Medical Scribes

Enter AI medical scribes like DocScrib—an ambient tool designed to unobtrusively listen, summarize, and generate structured notes while physicians focus on care.

Instead of keyboard clacking, clinicians now say:
“Alexa for documentation? It’s real—and it’s saving my sanity.”

Here’s how:

✅ Ambient Listening, Zero Interruption

DocScrib runs silently in the background—on telehealth or in-person. It captures clinical dialogue and generates SOAP notes or custom templates without disrupting workflow.

✅ Specialty-Aware Note Structuring

Whether you’re in orthopedics or psychiatry, DocScrib understands the nuances. It tailors terminology, abbreviations, and structure based on the specialty.

✅ HIPAA-Compliant + EHR-Friendly

Security is baked in. Every transcript is encrypted, and DocScrib integrates directly with most EHRs—no copy-paste or post-visit stress.

Why It Matters: Beyond Time-Saving

DocScrib isn’t just about shaving off admin hours. It’s enabling deeper human connection in healthcare. Doctors are:

• Making more eye contact

• Asking better follow-up questions

• Catching red flags earlier

• And most importantly, reconnecting with why they got into medicine
