DocAssistant: AI Scribe & Chat Clinical documentation built for acute care. DocAssistant is an AI-powered clinical documentation platform built for acute care. Used by emergency medicine groups, urgent care operators, hospitalist teams, and specialty telehealth practices, it helps clinicians produce structured, billing-ready notes faster, with less burnout. Flexible enough to adapt to any specialty or workflow. PURPOSE-BUILT FOR ACUTE CARE Most AI scribes are general-purpose tools retrofitted for clinicians. DocAssistant was built from the ground up for the pace, documentation requirements, and medical decision-making unique to acute care environments. Clinical direction comes from practicing physicians, with advisory guidance from Scott Weingart, MD (EMCrit). AI SCRIBE Passive listening, voice dictation, or manual entry. DocAssistant transcribes patient encounters and generates structured notes in the format your workflow requires, including HPI, ROS, Physical Exam, MDM, and Disposition. Smart Exam Templates pre-fill baseline findings and highlight abnormals. Notes adapt to your personal style through custom instructions and macros. FLEXIBLE ACROSS SPECIALTIES While built for acute care, DocAssistant adapts to any specialty. Customize note templates, exam patterns, and documentation style to match primary care, specialty clinic, inpatient, or telehealth workflows. MEDICAL CODING Automatic extraction of Evaluation and Management codes from your documentation. Review suggested CPT and ICD-10 codes inline with the note. Group administrators can access clinician-level coding distribution reports and compare against department benchmarks. BUILT FOR GROUPS Multi-site group administration, clinician-level analytics, and documentation quality reporting. Used by acute care groups across multiple states to standardize documentation, support billing, and reduce time to chart closure. DOCGPT: CLINICAL REFERENCE Ask clinical reference questions alongside your documentation workflow. DocGPT is a reference assistant, not a diagnostic or treatment tool - it surfaces information from medical literature to support clinician-led decisions.

CODE STATUS IS AN EDUCATIONAL EMERGENCY MEDICINE SIMULATION. Designed for Medical Students, Residents, Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Paramedics, EMTs and other Medical Learners. Created by a Board-Certified Practicing Emergency Physician and grounded in evidence-based clinical guidance. All cases are fictional and authored for teaching. Code Status gives Healthcare Professionals and Medical Learners a safe, repeatable way to practice emergency medicine decision-making and learn from outcomes without risk to a real patient. TAKE THE CASE Meet a patient with an unknown diagnosis. Take a history, perform an exam, order and interpret tests, commit to a diagnosis, treat the patient and decide what happens next. Your decisions shape the course of the case. LEARN FROM THE OUTCOME Patients may improve, deteriorate or require urgent intervention based on your decisions. Experiencing the consequences of delayed recognition, missed diagnoses or incorrect treatment is part of simulation-based medical education. Afterward, review what happened and try another approach. SCORE. REVIEW. REPLAY. Each case is scored across diagnosis, testing, treatment, timing and disposition. Scores are structured educational feedback, not the goal of the simulation. They show what you got right and what you missed, and make replay deliberate practice rather than repetition. HIGH-ACUITY RESUSCITATION Code Mode focuses on life-threatening emergencies where recognizing danger quickly and giving the right treatments in the right order are important learning objectives. These scenarios let learners practice time-sensitive emergency decision-making. WHY SIMULATION MATTERS Emergency medicine requires more than recalling facts. It requires recognizing deterioration, acting on incomplete information and making time-sensitive decisions under uncertainty. In real emergency care, patients can get worse quickly, and resuscitation and bedside procedures may be necessary. Code Status includes these elements because leaving them out would teach an incomplete version of emergency medicine. Resuscitation and procedures are presented clinically, without gratuitous detail and only where educationally relevant. EVIDENCE-BASED ATTENDING'S NOTES Practice first. Learn deeply afterward. Attending's Notes explains the medicine and clinical reasoning behind your decisions. Every case is grounded in clinical practice guidelines. More than 250 clinical sources are cited across the library, including guidelines, consensus statements and supporting studies. References are available in the app. Make the Call adds fast bedside questions. 25 CASES AND GROWING Cases span Cardiovascular, Neurologic, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, Infectious, Obstetric, Genitourinary, Musculoskeletal and Critical Care emergencies. New cases added regularly. TWO COMPLETE CASES ARE FREE Try Code Status free. Premium unlocks the growing case library.
