Documentation

Scribe

Psychiatry-tuned ambient documentation.

Scribe listens to the consultation and drafts the note a mental health clinician actually writes: mental state, risk, plan and Mental Health Act status. The clinician reviews, edits and signs. It is the fastest way to give clinical time back.

The problem

Clinicians spend more time writing about care than giving it.

Mental health documentation is among the most demanding in medicine: a structured mental state examination, a defensible risk formulation, a plan, and Mental Health Act status, written for every contact. Hours that should be spent with patients are spent at a keyboard, and burnout follows.

How it works

From conversation to signed note, in four steps.

  1. 1

    Consent

    Recording cannot begin until consent is logged. The patient can decline at any time.

  2. 2

    Capture

    Scribe documents the consultation in the background. It does not advise, diagnose, or handle crisis.

  3. 3

    Draft

    The conversation is organised into a structured psychiatric note. Audio is discarded afterwards.

  4. 4

    Review and sign

    The clinician edits anything and signs. Only then does it enter the record. Every edit is logged.

Capabilities

What Scribe does.

Psychiatry-tuned structure

Mental State Examination, risk, plan and history, not a generic transcript.

Mental Health Act aware

Captures and carries MHA status as part of the note.

Risk formulation support

Drafts a structured, defensible risk section for the clinician to confirm.

EPR integration

Designed to write back into the electronic patient record, not a separate silo.

Consent-gated

No recording without logged consent; audio discarded once the note is drafted.

Full audit trail

Every draft, edit and sign-off is recorded for governance.

Built safe

The guardrails, by design.

  • A clinician signs everything

    Scribe produces a draft. Nothing enters the record until a named clinician reviews and signs it.

  • It documents, it does not advise

    Scribe captures the consultation. It does not diagnose, recommend, or manage crisis.

  • Audio is not retained

    Recording is used only to draft the note, then discarded.

  • Consent comes first

    Capture cannot start until consent is confirmed and logged.

Regulatory position. Scribe is being built as an MHRA Class I documentation tool under a quality management system, with clinical safety managed to DCB0129 and DCB0160 and data protection to DSPT and UK GDPR. It is in development and is not yet a registered or certified product.
