DeepScribe reduces clinical documentation time by 80% at Lemon Tree Family Medicine
Dr. Lemmons deferred all note-taking to after hours to preserve full patient attention during appointments, spending several hours each night charting and missing personal milestones. Prior alternatives — human scribes and virtual transcription services — were either too invasive or still required heavy review and editing.
Human scribes were ruled out as too invasive for a small exam room, and virtual transcription services still required substantial time reviewing and editing notes.
DeepScribe cut documentation time by 80%, reducing per-visit review from 30 minutes to as little as 5 minutes and eliminating the long evening hours previously spent charting.
