Updated on: July 12, 2025
As an OB-GYN, your day may include prenatal checkups, ultrasound reviews, pelvic exams, contraceptive counseling, and maybe even a delivery—all before lunch. Yet after every visit, there’s one task waiting: documentation.
From SOAP notes to procedural summaries, OB-GYN documentation must be clear, detailed, and compliant. But the more time you spend typing, the less time you have to support your patients through some of their most vulnerable moments.
That’s why AI medical scribes for OB-GYN—like DocScrib—are becoming essential tools for modern women’s health practices. They allow OB-GYNs to reclaim clinical focus while ensuring documentation is complete, secure, and EMR-ready.
Why OB-GYN Documentation Is Especially Complex
Women’s health providers manage a wide spectrum of care—from adolescence through menopause—making their documentation one of the most varied in medicine.
OB-GYN notes typically include:
-
Menstrual and reproductive history
-
Prenatal milestones and ultrasound findings
-
Cervical and pelvic exam results
-
Family planning and contraceptive counseling
-
Surgical procedures (e.g., LEEP, hysterectomy)
-
Fertility evaluations and IVF protocols
-
Labor & delivery summaries
These visits require both medical precision and emotional sensitivity. Typing during a sensitive conversation? Not ideal.
What Is an AI Medical Scribe for OB-GYN?
An AI scribe listens to the OB-GYN-patient conversation and creates structured medical notes—live, during the visit. Unlike dictation tools, AI scribes understand clinical language and context, separating subjective complaints from physical findings and assessments.
DocScrib is trained specifically on women’s health workflows, from prenatal to postnatal care, ensuring notes are detailed, specialty-accurate, and HIPAA-compliant.
How It Works in an OB-GYN Practice
-
Start the visit
The AI listens in silently during in-person or virtual consults. -
Real-time language processing
It detects terms like “LMP,” “fundal height,” “speculum exam,” or “conception window,” and organizes them accordingly. -
Note generation
Within minutes, it creates a structured note—SOAP, H&P, or post-op—ready for review. -
Clinician review and sync
You edit (if needed), approve, and send the note directly to your EMR.
No backlogging. No distractions during patient interaction.
