Basis AI Scribe
Basis AI Scribe captures patient encounters and drafts clinical notes for clinicians to review and approve.
What Basis AI Scribe is
Basis AI Scribe captures patient encounters and drafts clinical notes for clinicians to review and approve. Before a visit, it brings the reason for the visit, relevant chart context, and recent history into one view. Clinicians can compare a draft against its source transcript, edit it, and approve the note before it moves to the chart. Encounter audio, transcripts, and drafts are processed on hardware controlled by the practice; capture and drafting can continue locally when the internet connection is interrupted. Basis Desktop runs on supported Mac or Windows computers and uses the computer microphone. Basis Mobile captures visits on supported phones, tablets, or watches, either independently or with Audio Beacons. Listed integrations include Epic, athenahealth, Oracle Health, Canvas Medical, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, and Tebra. Basis says each export path is scoped against the practice’s own EHR before go-live. The company describes the clinical app as having no account, login, analytics, or advertising code; audio begins only when a provider starts recording, streams to the practice’s Basis appliance, and is not stored in the app. Pricing is on request; the listed download is free.
