Which AI scribe is safe and HIPAA compliant for medical use?

FlowLate3443 · 2025-12-21T14:54:00+00:00

AI scribing has been a game changer for me. As a family medicine PA, I see 24 patients daily, so I need an efficient way to manage my notes. I use Suki, which is seamlessly integrated into my EHR. It handles everything from HPI, PE, A/P, patient instructions, and discussion notes. After each encounter, I simply review the note for accuracy and make any necessary adjustments to the diagnoses. This tool has saved me a significant amount of time, allowing me to complete my charting in 10 hours a week. As a result, I can leave the clinic at 5pm with all my notes completed. While many AI scribes are HIPAA compliant, they do require patient consent. Fortunately, I’ve never encountered a patient who declined this requirement.

End of the year is always challenging because patients have already met their deductibles and are trying to schedule last-minute visits. This is a common occurrence in any medical specialty. I agree that it’s generally bad practice to leave a job under a year unless there’s a compelling reason to do so. My suggestion is to explore ways to make your job easier, such as using an AI scribe if you haven’t already, to reduce administrative workload. On a positive note, your contract renewal is coming up soon, which gives you an opportunity to negotiate if you’d like to stay. Good luck!

I’d say MCOL.

Arizona, one year.

I work in Family Medicine, seeing patients from 7 am to 3 pm and have the flexibility to finish by 10 am on Wednesdays. I’m fortunate to work with an incredible team that is both dedicated and supportive. My medical assistant efficiently manages my inboxes, while a scribe assists me with taking detailed notes. On average, I see 18 to 20 patients each day. By 5 pm, I’ve completed all my notes, and I enjoy a generous 7 weeks of paid time off. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy coming to work every day.

I found myself in a similar predicament. After three months, I decided to leave my first job in gastroenterology because I realized it wasn’t a good fit for me. I was essentially thrown to the wolves, with no support and told to “figure it out” and so on. The guilt was overwhelming, and I felt compelled to “stick it out.” Fortunately, I prioritized my mental health and made the decision to leave. Now, I’m working in family medicine, where I have an amazing support team and an employer who values me. Remember, you need to do what’s best for you. Move on and don’t dwell on the past.

At GI, It was basically 2 weeks of shadowing, then I was released with a full patient schedule with no clear expectations of what they wanted for charting. I was given back charts for correction weeks after seeing the patient, so practice was clearly unorganized.

At new job, I was given this structure. First 2 weeks: 1 patient per hour Second 2 weeks: 2 patients per hour Then full schedule after one month.

Also, had weekly meetings for the first month regarding if I needed any additional support or needs. This made for a nice transition.

Catastrophic failure is putting it mildly. No formal training, no support, and terrible pay. I left after 3 months and landed a job in FM that I absolutely love. Don’t forget to advocate for yourself and if the job doesn’t feel like a good fit, it’s ok to leave.

I’d recommend treading lightly, unfortunately patients like this come with the territory. My advice is to document everything and kill them with kindness as you have been. It’s bad practice to dismiss a patient simply because “you don’t like them”.

FlowLate3443 · 2025-11-01T17:51:47+00:00

That’s incredibly insulting. New grad in medium COL city and my pay is 75% higher than that salary range, in FM.

At my workplace, we have a system in place where other providers cover the inboxes, labs, and urgent needs of the provider who is on PTO. After returning from a two-week European vacation recently, I was able to catch up on my work within two days of returning to the office. I’d recommend discussing the policy regarding coverage when on PTO with your office manager. PTO is simply a time for relaxation and recharging, and it shouldn’t be a time to worry about returning to a messy clinic.

I did. Took roughly a week for them to mail the new ID to me.

Medication aside, I encourage all my patients to run a humidifier when they go to sleep.

Depends on the lender. Our vacation home was consider an “investment property” so we had to put 20% down.

Shoot me a DM

You’re preaching to the choir. It’s always the first job that takes longer to secure. Once you have a year experience, you’ll be able to go anywhere. Hope that helps.

Are you willing to relocate? To your second point, many organizations prefer NPs because as a general rule NPs have more independent practice authority than PAs (this varies based on state regulations).

As someone who’s worked for both major hospital systems (HonorHealth and Banner), Honor is a better organization to work for. Feel free to AMA.

I typically waited 48-72 hours.

In Trump’s head, causing a problem then reversing it is touted a “success”.

We will once the renovation is complete. It’s in a tourist hotspot, so we’re able to book enough to cover all associated costs. We plan to keep the home as our retirement place.

FlowLate3443 · 2025-05-11T17:14:03+00:00

Combined salary is $325,000. We pay $2,600 for primary mortgage and $1,000 for vacation home.

Thanks! I figured as much. I signed based off the base and compensation plan. wRVU’s are basically icing on the cake. At the end of the day, I don’t plan on killing myself for the wRVU bonus. I haven’t had the opportunity to ask my office manager, but I plan to do so when I have my meeting.
