Whether at small practices or large hospitals, physicians everywhere know that the patient relationship and history matter. That’s why reliable medical tooling is so critical. More and more often, professionals in all specialties are relying on AI medical scribes and medical GPTs to get the job done.
Here’s what both tools do, including key features and frequently asked questions, answered.
What is an AI Medical Scribe?
An AI medical scribe is a software product that uses artificial intelligence to live-record appointment notes. The tool automatically transcribes conversations, converting them into succinct, point-by-point notes to relieve the administrative burden on physicians, nurse practitioners, and PAs.
AI scribe tools like Doximity Scribe help summarize prescriptive treatment plans, produce referral letters, and even update medical histories. By automating this process, healthcare professionals can focus more on the patient during each visit.
What is an AI Medical GPT?
A medical GPT is a large language model designed to be a trusted digital resource in healthcare. It can help with anything from physicians using it for diagnosis decision-making to practitioners providing patients with symptom-checking information. These products use AI to analyze prompts, answer questions, and effectively summarize complex information from reputable sources.
But not all medical GPTs are built the same. DoxGPT, for example, is both reputable and accessible. It is HIPAA-compliant, gives instant answers with conclusions first, and is entirely free for all verified U.S. physicians, NPs, PAs, and medical students.
AI Medical Scribes: Features to Improve the Doctor-Patient Relationship
While you’re on your search for an AI scribe, it’s important to look for something reliable that also goes beyond the basics. A great AI scribe supports:
- Note customization: From free-form notes to specialty templates, a good scribe will adapt to the workflow that you already use.
- Portable formats: AI scribes should be available on desktop and as a mobile app for convenience on the go.
- Real-time note generation: The AI scribe you want will live-record the key points of the appointment while filtering out small talk.
- Integrations with other medical tools: An AI scribe should seamlessly integrate with other crucial medical tooling, just as Doximity Scribe does with Doximity Dialer.
Medical GPTs: Innovative AI Features Doctors Can Trust
Functionally, a medical GPT works like non-medical GPT products. It’s a simple search engine that helps with virtually whatever you need. But in a medical context, you want to make sure there are a few available features, including:
- Instant answers: DoxGPT’s Instant Answers covers over 3,200 drug monographs, providing almost instant results to prompts about drug interactions, dosing, and possible side effects.
- Clinical question: Instant answers to healthcare questions expertly curated from peer-reviewed literature. It will provide answers to questions surrounding drug data, treatment pathways, diagnostic workups, and more.
- Table support: A good medical GPT provides insights through tables and simple graphics for comprehensive drug comparisons and guideline criteria.
AI Scribes and GPTs: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can DoxGPT Provide Diagnostic or Treatment Recommendations Safely?
DoxGPT was built to support, not completely replace, clinical reasoning. It can suggest potential diagnoses, follow-up steps, or evidence-based treatments based on the latest guidelines, but a licensed physician should finalize all recommendations.
2. Are Physicians Responsible for AI Scribe Notes?
Ultimately, yes. Physicians, nurses, or the healthcare worker responsible for setting up the AI scribe is responsible for the accuracy of any medical documentation. This is the case regardless of whether AI or a live scribe drafted the notes.
3. How Does DoxGPT Handle Medical Uncertainty or Conflicting Guidelines?
DoxGPT highlights when evidence is limited, mixed, or context-dependent. It will always cite relevant studies, summarize alternative recommendations, and suggest that doctors use their own judgement or even consult specialists when appropriate.
4. What About Accessibility? Can Smaller Practices Use AI Medical Scribes Easily?
Yes. Doximity Scribe, for example, is free, making modern medical tooling easy to access for professionals in any setting.
5. How Long Does the Average AI Scribe Implementation Take?
It depends on your clinic’s current workflows. It could take as little as a few weeks or up to three or four months. Every doctor's workflow, style, and clinic needs are refined as the AI learns over time.
However, physicians can immediately introduce Doximity Scribe into their toolkits. Because Doximity Scribe is free and accessible, it fits right into your workflow without the ramp time.
6. How Accurate and Reliable are DoxGPT’s Medical Responses?
DoxGPT is trained on peer-reviewed medical literature, reputable sources, and clinical guidelines. The data is continuously refined through expert feedback, and while the responses are highly accurate, it’s not a perfectly infallible system. DoxGPT should always be used as a decision-support tool, and not as a foolproof substitute for medical expertise.
