How to Choose an AI Medical Scribe: 7 Criteria That Actually Matter for Independent Physicians
There are now dozens of AI scribes on the market, and the marketing all sounds similar. Here's how to cut through it — the evaluation criteria that actually matter for an independent physician making this decision alone.
How to Evaluate During the Trial
Evaluate the trial with de-identified or fictional scenarios. Ask: how much editing did I do? Did the note capture the scenario accurately or produce a generic version? Did the clinical language match my specialty? Do not submit identifiable patient information until written confirmation that the full contract chain is in place.
Track editing time per note across the first week. If you're editing more than 2-3 minutes per note, the AI isn't carrying enough of the load to justify the cost. If you're editing less than a minute, you've found the right tool.
