Our clinicians now have the option to use a tool called ‘Accurx Scribe’ during your appointment. This is a “note taker” and helps clinicians write up their notes from your consultation, meaning they can focus more on speaking to you and less on the computer screen.
What this means for you:
- More time with your clinician – less time spent typing.
- More accurate, complete notes, delivered to you faster.
Here’s what you need to know
- It works by listening to the conversation with your clinician and typing up notes, so the clinician can focus more on you. It’s only interested in medical information relevant to your care.
- The Scribe is built by a team led by doctors and uses some basic AI to turn the conversation into clear notes to support your care and help the clinician save time.
- Your clinician will review and edit notes before saving them to your medical record – nothing is added to your medical record by the Scribe. All decisions about your care are made by your clinician.
- Your conversations are private as the technology follows all the necessary UK data, privacy rules and NHS standards. Your voice recordings are not stored with Accurx Scribe. Only what your clinician decides is needed is saved to your medical record.
- If you’re not comfortable using a Scribe, do ask your clinician for more information on how it works. If you feel uncomfortable, you can let the clinician know and ask them not to use it.
