A time-motion study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found physicians spend nearly two hours on EHR work for every hour of face-to-face care. ScribeBerry flips that ratio so documentation stops running your life.
GET STARTED FREE →Quick Answer: Physicians can reduce charting time by 1–2 hours per day using an AI medical scribe that drafts structured clinical notes during the encounter. ScribeBerry captures the visit via ambient speech recognition, generates SOAP notes with 99.9% accuracy, and pushes them directly into Accuro, OSCAR, or PS Suite — eliminating after-hours documentation backlogs. HIPAA/PIPEDA compliant, SOC 2 Type II certified.
ScribeBerry captures the visit and drafts a structured note with 99.9% accuracy. Over 30,000+ healthcare providers trust it to eliminate the end-of-day documentation backlog.
HIPAA and PIPEDA compliant, with PHIPA support and SOC 2 Type II certification. Built to meet CPSO guidance on physician responsibility for records.
Works with Accuro, OSCAR, and PS Suite so your notes land where you already chart. Templates are customizable by specialty and clinic workflow.
The note is drafted during the visit, so you are editing a structured draft instead of writing from scratch at 9 p.m. That shift alone eliminates the cognitive load of reconstructing encounters from memory.
Use the documentation time calculator to estimate how many hours you can reclaim per week based on your patient volume and current charting habits.
Standardize templates across your practice so every physician documents consistently. Faster peer review, easier audits, and smoother handoffs between providers.
Reducing charting time is not a luxury problem. It is one of the main drivers of physician burnout and the reason many doctors finish their clinical day with a second shift at home.
The numbers are stark. The Annals of Internal Medicine found that for every hour of direct patient care, physicians spent nearly two hours on EHR and desk work. That math explains why so many clinics feel behind before the day even starts.
The burden shows up in burnout data. Research in JAMA Internal Medicine connects heavy EHR workload directly to physician stress. The CMA National Physician Health Survey has repeatedly identified administrative burden as a core driver of burnout in Canadian medicine.
When documentation spills into evenings and weekends, it does not just affect the physician. It affects patient access (fewer appointments available), continuity of care (notes completed hours after the visit are less accurate), and the long-term sustainability of medical practice.
AI medical scribing helps because it removes the most tedious part of documentation: recreating the visit after the fact. With ScribeBerry, the note is drafted during or immediately after the encounter, so you are editing instead of writing from scratch.
Here is where the time savings come from:
The result: most physicians report saving 1–2 hours of after-hours charting per day. A family physician seeing 30 patients daily who saves 3 minutes per note reclaims 90 minutes — enough to leave the office on time instead of charting through dinner.
Saving time means nothing if the tool creates compliance risk. For Canadian physicians, the CPSO documentation policy makes it clear that physicians remain responsible for accuracy and privacy, even when tools assist.
ScribeBerry is built for that standard:
The CMPA is clear that AI tools assist but do not replace physician judgment. ScribeBerry is designed around that principle. For full details on data handling and encryption, see the security page.
Any physician who documents patient encounters will benefit, but the time savings are most dramatic for:
There is no magic fix for documentation burden, but there is a sensible path: capture the encounter once, draft the note immediately, and keep the chart clean without sacrificing patient time. That is what ScribeBerry is built for. See the features page for workflow details.
Most physicians report saving 1–2 hours of after-hours charting per day. The exact savings depend on patient volume and note complexity. A family physician seeing 30 patients daily who saves 3 minutes per note reclaims 90 minutes. You can estimate your own savings with the documentation time calculator.
Voice dictation (like Dragon Medical) converts your speech to text — you still have to dictate the note yourself in a specific format. ScribeBerry listens to the natural doctor-patient conversation and structures the note automatically. You do not need to dictate, pause, or use voice commands. The AI extracts clinical content and organizes it into SOAP format without any extra effort from you.
It improves it. Notes drafted during or immediately after the encounter are more accurate than notes reconstructed hours later from memory. ScribeBerry captures details in real time — medication names, dosages, patient-reported symptoms — that physicians often forget or abbreviate when charting after hours. Every note is reviewed by the physician before finalizing.
ScribeBerry integrates with Accuro, OSCAR, and PS Suite — the EMRs most commonly used in Canadian clinics. Notes push directly into the patient chart. No copy-paste, no exporting files, no switching between apps. See the integrations page for the full list.
Yes. ScribeBerry is HIPAA and PIPEDA compliant, supports PHIPA for Ontario, and holds SOC 2 Type II certification. Patient data can be stored on Canadian servers. We align with CPSO expectations on physician responsibility for documentation and maintain full audit trails for medicolegal defensibility.
Yes. ScribeBerry supports multi-provider clinics with standardized templates, individual physician accounts, and volume pricing. Clinic owners can ensure consistent documentation quality across all providers while each physician retains control over their own notes and templates. Contact us for clinic pricing details.
ScribeBerry offers a free trial with no credit card required. You can test it with real patient encounters (with consent) and see the time savings before making any commitment. Most physicians decide within the first week.
A full-time human medical scribe costs $40,000–$60,000 per year, requires training, and is limited to one physician at a time. ScribeBerry costs a fraction of that, works across all your patient encounters, achieves 99.9% accuracy (compared to 85–90% for typical human scribes), and is available on demand — no scheduling, no sick days, no turnover.
