iScribe cures physician burnout and allows physicians to focus on caring for patients rather than the computer screen. iScribe is an easy-to-use app that gives providers anytime/anywhere access via iPhone, iPad, or Mac to view and enter clinical information for patients. We leverage industry leading speech-to-text technology to increase provider efficiency and productivity while eliminating expensive transcription costs. With iScribe’s real-time speech-to-text dictation feature, users can visually see the dictated text directly on the screen as they are speaking. Users can dictate directly into the appropriate sections (CC, HPI, ROS, PE, A/P) on the mobile device and save their documentation immediately into their EHR. By using the real-time speech-to-text feature, transcription costs can be eliminated. iScribe users have saved $15,000 - $25,000 per provider per year in reduced transcription costs. iScribe reduces the time that healthcare providers typically spend in the EHR allowing more time to take care of patients. Physicians can complete their encounter without having to wait until the end of the day or after office hours and there is no waiting for pending transcription. iScribe’s modern mobile user experience allows the clinical documentation to be completed at the point of care without taking away from the provider / patient experience. Healthcare provider time should not be undervalued and iScribe helps to maximize efficiency and productivity unlike any other solution available today.
