Top 10 AI Medical Scribes

Every patient interaction is unique, filled with small details that matter greatly. While designed to alleviate doctors from the burdens of documentation, AI medical scribes are meant to capture the fine details of these interactions — but not all are the same. For example, this article highlights challenges with accuracy: “Your vision is good?” asked the doctor. “Mm-hm,” replied the patient. “Your vision is good?” was caught clearly, but the patient's reply was documented wrongly as “Is it?”. You know where this seems to be heading, right?

Physicians are increasingly turning to AI scribes in the quest for efficient patient care, with many even paying out of their pocket. But finding the 'right' one is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. The challenge lies in their ability to accurately capture, interpret, and secure sensitive medical information while seamlessly integrating with EHRs.

Transcription Accuracy

Noting down patient encounters accurately has always been a concern among physicians. MarianaAI, Nabla, and Nuance each promise an impressive 95% accuracy rate, ensuring high-quality clinical documentation. Abridge follows closely behind with an accuracy of 91%. In terms of latency, MarianaAI delivers results in a swift 3-5 seconds. Nabla takes around 20 seconds, while Nuance offers a 10-second turnaround. However, for DeepScribe, processing might take several hours since they have a human in the loop. MarianaAI excels in speaker identification, recognizing up to 5 distinct speakers. This feature is currently unavailable in Nabla, Nuance, or Abridge.

Medical Code Extraction

While Abridge, Nabla, Nuance, and Suki only support fee-for-service models with ICD-10 and CPT codes, MarianaAI adds support for value-based models with HCC code capture, providing advanced coding for reimbursements and risk assessments.

Compliance, Data Security and Storage

While all platforms adhere to HIPAA, SOC, and ISO compliance standards, only MarianaAI and Nabla do not store any user data, ensuring maximum privacy and security. At MarianaAI, we take this a step further by offering enterprise-grade security and on-premise deployment at no extra cost.

MarianaAI ensures instant processing of clinical notes, reflecting a strong commitment to privacy and security unlike others. This commitment contrasts with recent concerns over data handling practices by major companies like Microsoft, which has faced scrutiny for accessing patient data (as detailed in this article).

EHR Integration

MarianaAI and Nuance lead with compatibility for over 50 EHR systems, whereas Nabla and Abridge support 5+ major EHRs. Physicians need to navigate the EHR interface effectively; a primary concern is the degree of EHR integration. MarianaAI offers deeper integration with major EHRs by summarizing patient data into actionable patient portraits so doctors can get to know vital patient details in less than 30 seconds.

Customization

MarianaAI, Nabla, and Nuance provide the option for custom instructions, with MarianaAI also offering extensive custom templates and whitelabelling, unlike others. MarianaAI also adds the ability to create a knowledge base to store organization-specific information, further enhancing its utility for healthcare providers.

Personalized care plans have already become a reality and the demand for such plans is on the rise by both physicians and patients. MarianaAI stands out as the only platform offering a HIPAA-compliant AI assistant, MarianaGPT, capable of assisting with research, drafting replies and referrals, and more, providing an unparalleled level of support and functionality in clinical settings.

Human in the Loop

DeepScribe includes a human in the loop, which can hamper the user experience and is less secure than other solutions (we mean it!). In contrast, MarianaAI, Nabla, Nuance, and Abridge generate notes that are automatically available for clinician review. This model allows clinicians to add final touches before closing files immediately after each visit.

Other Information We Couldn’t Fit Anywhere Else

• Real-time Charting and Patient Portraits: MarianaAI features real-time charting and patient portraits, enabling clinicians to avoid using the EHR entirely and manage everything on one platform. (MarianaAI is more than just an AI medical scribe!)
• In-built CDI: MarianaAI offers in-built Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI), enhancing the accuracy and quality of clinical documentation.
• Personal Concierge Support: MarianaAI uniquely provides a personal concierge for support, offering a high level of personalized assistance to its users.
• Setup Costs: Deepscribe and Nuance both have setup costs, which can be a consideration for new users when choosing a platform.
