The evidence behind the scribe

An ambient scribe vendor wants its patient-facing page linked from your trust's website. You are the clinical safety reviewer.

Fictional case. The vendor and its page are invented; every study, figure and quotation in the findings is real and cited.

Your doctor, fully present: how Halden Scribe gives clinicians back 43 minutes a day

When you see your doctor, you deserve their full attention. That's why hospitals are turning to ambient AI scribes, which listen to the consultation and write the notes. Ambient scribes save clinicians an average of 43 minutes a day. Instead of typing, your doctor can look at you.

The evidence is clear. In a randomised clinical trial, AI scribes cut the time spent on each note by 41 seconds. In busy emergency departments, notes were finished 73 seconds faster for every patient. One hospital study found an AI scribe saved 7.1 hours of documentation in just four weeks.

These results are independently proven in peer-reviewed research. And once doctors start using an ambient scribe, they use it for every patient.

Halden Scribe supports, and does not replace, clinical judgement.
