Ambient Scribe is a clinical documentation platform for teams that want the visit, the note, the phone call, and the chart to work together. Record an encounter from your Phone review the generated note, and send documentation back to the EHR. Capture photos, scans, forms, insurance cards, wound images, videos, transcripts, and source material on one secure clinical clipboard. Bring the whole care team into the same workflow so the front desk, nurses, providers, and AI agents all work from shared context instead of scattered messages and screenshots. DOCUMENTATION THAT MOVES WITH YOU Use Ambient Scribe from the clinic, hospital, nursing home, home visit, or anywhere your day takes you: * Record patient conversations naturally * Generate structured clinical notes for review * Capture paper, photos, video, and other visit artifacts * Pull your schedule when connected to supported EHRs * Start from the app or launch from the chart, depending on your setup * Send finished notes and structured data back to the EHR THE CLIPBOARD: ONE PLACE FOR THE VISIT Every encounter can become a secure clipboard: the documentation backbone for the full visit. Audio, transcripts, scans, photos, uploaded files, calls, messages, and AI-generated summaries stay tied to the same patient context. Your team can review the evidence, add information, and hand off work without starting from scratch. BUILT FOR TEAMS Ambient Scribe is strongest when your organization is set up around it. Organization setup unlocks: * Shared clinical clipboards across the care team * Role-based access for providers, staff, and administrators * Team templates and organization-specific note preferences * Custom phrase replacement for preferred terminology * Receptionist and workflow agents that create and act on clipboards * EHR connection setup for schedules, note write-back, and deeper integration AI AGENTS FOR CLINICAL BUSYWORK Ambient Scribe is more than a recorder.

Supported organization workflows can include single sign-on, schedule access, patient context, note section mapping, direct send-to-EHR, and discrete data write-back. Integration depth depends on your EHR and organization setup.
