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.
How it works
Common implementation structure
How this type of workflow is generally built, generalized across documented cases — not tied to any one vendor's stack. Click any stage to read what happens there. Specific products that implement these stages appear in “Tools commonly seen” below.
Stage 1 · Patient appointment begins
A typical appointment begins with Dr. Lemmons giving undivided attention to the patient rather than taking notes.
Tools used
DeepScribe
Outcome
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.
What failed first
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.
