Doximity Scribe
Overview
Doximity is the largest verified professional network for healthcare professionals in the U.S., connecting clinicians across various specialties and care settings. The platform offers a suite of integrated, AI-powered tools designed to streamline documentation, communication, and clinical decision-making. Among these is Doximity Scribe, a free, HIPAA-compliant ambient AI tool for verified U.S. clinicians (physicians, NPs, PAs, and medical students). Scribe listens during patient encounters and drafts clinical notes in real-time, aiming to reduce documentation burden and allow clinicians to focus more on patient care. Beyond Scribe, Doximity provides other AI features like DoxGPT for clinical questions and drafting, Doximity Dialer for secure masked calls and video visits, secure messaging, and eFax capabilities. The platform also serves as a comprehensive physician directory, a source for medical news and research, and a resource for career management.

What Physicians Need to Know
To maximize Doximity Scribe's utility, leverage its custom template feature to align note outputs with your specific EHR structure and workflow, potentially including checklists for orders. Always review and edit the AI-generated note, treating it as a draft before finalization. The tool is highly portable, supporting both in-person and virtual visits, especially when integrated with Doximity Dialer. Consider using it during chart review to efficiently dictate and organize patient history, medication lists, and other background information. Remember to obtain verbal consent from patients before recording. By offloading documentation, you can maintain uninterrupted patient focus during encounters.
Doximity Scribe is integrated with Doximity Dialer, the company's voice and video telehealth platform, allowing clinicians to conduct virtual visits and document care from a single, unified screen. The medical knowledge engine DoxGPT is also integrated, enabling users to request patient handouts, prior authorization letters, and other relevant information during note generation. However, it lacks direct, deep, bidirectional integration with Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, meaning notes must be manually copied and pasted. The tool primarily operates within the broader Doximity ecosystem.
