ClinicFrame launches real-time clinical scribe for visits and telehealth

ClinicFrame has introduced a virtual medical scribe that turns live patient conversations into structured notes during in-person and telehealth encounters. The platform is designed to reduce documentation burden while keeping clinicians focused on the patient and preserving existing EHR workflows.

Why it matters: - ClinicFrame is aimed at reducing the time clinicians spend on documentation during and after patient visits. - The platform is designed to keep telehealth calls patient-facing by avoiding a separate bot participant. - Clinicians can use the same workflow for in-person visits, video calls, and follow-up note review.

What happened: - ClinicFrame introduced a virtual medical scribe for real-time clinical documentation. - The platform converts clinical conversations into structured notes during patient encounters. - The system supports both in-person appointments and telehealth sessions. - ClinicFrame runs in a web browser and also offers a desktop app for Mac and Windows. - The company says clinicians can learn more and try the product at ClinicFrame's website.

The details: - Clinicians can review relevant patient history before a visit, capture the conversation during the encounter, and receive a clinical note shortly after the session ends. - The desktop and browser experiences share the same account, templates, and patient history. - During video visits, ClinicFrame runs on the clinician’s computer rather than joining as a separate participant. - The platform provides ambient capture without dictation and includes a live transcript that identifies speakers. - ClinicFrame works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet. - A Quick Bar keeps notes, patient context, and AI tools accessible without taking over the clinician’s screen. - After a session, the platform generates structured notes for review. - ClinicFrame supports SOAP, DAP, BIRP, and custom templates. - Completed notes can be copied into an electronic health record or exported as a PDF. - The system is designed to work alongside existing EHR systems without changing the clinician’s documentation process. - ClinicFrame builds a longitudinal patient history from prior sessions. - Before a visit, clinicians can review an automatically generated summary of the last encounter and see medications, allergies, and conditions in one record. - Clinicians can also use AI to ask questions about the patient’s history before the next visit. - Templates and patient history follow the clinician between the browser and desktop apps. - The platform supports family medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, and cardiology. - Mental health professionals can create DAP and BIRP notes and use custom therapy templates for in-person and telehealth care.

Between the lines: - ClinicFrame is positioning itself as more than transcription software. - The product links encounter capture, note creation, and pre-visit context in one workflow. - That approach could appeal to practices that want documentation support without adding another visible tool to telehealth sessions.

What's next: - ClinicFrame is now available for clinicians who want to test the browser or desktop workflow. - The company is betting that continuity across visits and note formats will make the product useful across specialties and care settings.

The bottom line: - ClinicFrame is trying to make clinical documentation feel like part of the visit, not a separate task after it ends.
