Sampson is an ambient medical scribe built specifically for emergency medicine — not a scribe built for primary care with an EM template slapped on it, but designed from the ground up for how ED physicians actually work. Sampson generates complete documentation-including MDMs that read like they were written by a seasoned attending with all the time in the world to write the perfect note. Sampson also automatically generates DC instructions, with the patients native language auto-detected, complete with visit summary, return precautions, and follow up instructions, as soon as discharge is detected. Explore advanced features, like multi-patient mode, attestation mode-Sampson even automatically captures missed critical care time and generates CCT addendums specific to that particular case, so no more downcoding. BUILT FOR THE ED - Literally built by ER Physicians working shifts just like you. No corporate backing, no shady private equity owners. - Notes generated in real time, ready to paste into your EMR - Multi-patient board management — track name, chief complaint, and room number across your whole shift - Record first, fill in patient details later — Sampson won't stop you for incomplete patient info DISCHARGE IN ANY LANGUAGE When an interpreter is used during the encounter, Sampson automatically detects the language and generates discharge instructions in both English and the patient's language — no extra steps, no separate translation workflow. Currently supports Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Tagalog. BUILT-IN BILLING INTELLIGENCE Sampson captures the documentation you forgot to dictate. Critical Care Time flags, CoPA, data, and risk coding notes are surfaced automatically so you stop undercoding without thinking about it. HIPAA-COMPLIANT INFRASTRUCTURE Built on AWS with end-to-end encryption, CloudTrail audit logging, and a no-retention audio policy. Audio auto deletes at 48 hrs, notes auto delete at 14 days. Your patients' data is protected. YOUR DATA IS SAFE Sampson will NEVER use your data to train our models on, unless you specifically give us permission to do so. Withholding permission to use your data does not affect your ability to use Sampson in any way, shape or form, and never will.
