AI Scribe

Watch the AI scribe capture and document patient encounters with clinical reasoning built in.

Who It's For

A clinical reasoning partner that enhances medical decision-making and streamlines documentation and operational workflows.

Example question
"What are the treatment options for CKD stage 4 in a patient with diabetes and eGFR 28?"
Typical output
  • Differential and risk factors
  • Guideline-based treatment pathway
  • Medication considerations (contraindications, renal dosing)
  • Monitoring plan and follow-up intervals
  • Referral thresholds
  • Evidence summary with inline citations [1][2]

CDI + Utilization Review

CDI and utilization review, powered by clinical reasoning

Most documentation tools match keywords against a code list. EvidenceMD reads the chart the way a physician advisor does — building the clinical picture first, then showing you the exact words in the note that support every code, query and level-of-care decision. Revenue improves for an unglamorous reason: the work was already done and the documentation was not showing it.

Runs with the AI scribe

Finish the encounter, review the note

Close a visit and run CDI/UR on the note the scribe just drafted. Accept the findings and they are written back into the note in one click — with one-click revert when you disagree. Chronic conditions from earlier visits are checked for recapture at the same time.

Runs standalone

Any EHR, any note, no scribe required

Paste or upload a note from whatever system you already use. You get the same CDI engine plus the standalone-only work: qualitative DRG impact, non-leading CC/MCC query drafts, inpatient-versus-observation review and the ED utilization pass.

What a review returns

With the scribe · Standalone

Every gap traced back to the words in the note

A senior-CDI pass over the finished note: ICD-10 specificity, MEAT support, HCC recapture, E/M level and denial risk. If a code is not supported by text in the note, it does not appear.

MEAT · CMS-HCC V28 specificity · Excludes1 hygiene · 2-of-3 MDM

  • Specificity

    I50.9 → I50.23 — acute on chronic systolic heart failure

    Unspecified heart failure drops the CC that the documentation already supports.

    SOB worse over 3 days, EF 30%, started on furosemide drip

  • HCC recapture

    CKD stage 4 coded last visit, unaddressed today

    Carried in the medication list but never assessed this encounter — no MEAT, no recapture.

    Continue sevelamer 800 mg TID

  • Denial risk

    Medical necessity not stated for the CT angiogram

    The order is documented; the indication that justifies it is not.

  • E/M support

    Level 4 holds on Problems and Risk

    Two of the three MDM elements clear the threshold and Data does not — scored, not assumed.

Illustrative output. Every finding in a real review is anchored to a verbatim phrase from your own note.

Why clinical reasoning is the difference

Reasoning first, codes second

The engine builds the clinical picture before it goes looking for a code, which is how it catches the acuity a keyword scan reads straight past.

Nothing that isn’t in the note

Every code, query and recommendation carries the exact phrase it came from. Unsupported findings are omitted rather than invented — which is what makes the output hold up under audit.

Queries compliance will sign off on

CC/MCC queries are drafted non-leading and multi-option, with the neutrality language reviewers look for, built only from the indicators charted.

EvidenceMD supports professional CDI, coding and utilization review — it does not replace the clinician or the certified coder signing off.

AI Clinical Decision Support

Evidence-based clinical decision support for doctors

EvidenceMD is an AI clinical decision support platform designed to think the way clinicians do. Instead of returning a confident but unsourced paragraph, it works through a case step by step and shows the reasoning behind every recommendation — then backs that reasoning with peer-reviewed evidence from PubMed, clinical guidelines, and peer-reviewed journals indexed in PubMed. For physicians, residents, nurses and biomedical researchers, that means answers you can actually verify at the point of care.

The platform combines five capabilities that usually require separate tools: transparent clinical reasoning, an evidence-based AI medical scribe, CDI and utilization review, citation-backed literature search, and a developer medical AI API. Together they cover the clinical and administrative work that fills a modern clinician's day.

Clinical reasoning you can trace

Ask a differential, a workup, or a management question and EvidenceMD lays out its chain-of-thought with inline citations. Read more about how it works on the clinical reasoning page, or see why it's the best clinical decision support AI.

An AI scribe that cites evidence

The evidence-based AI scribe drafts structured notes from the encounter and pairs documentation with clinical decision support, so the note and the reasoning stay connected.

Search grounded in the literature

DeepSearch retrieves and summarizes peer-reviewed sources with links back to the original studies, so you can confirm guidance against the primary literature rather than a model's memory.

A medical AI API for builders

Teams can integrate the same clinical reasoning and citations into their own products through an OpenAI-compatible medical AI API, with a free tier to start.

CDI and utilization review, with or without the scribe

The same reasoning engine reviews a finished note for clinical documentation integrity and utilization management — ICD-10 specificity, MEAT support, HCC recapture, E/M level, charge-capture gaps and denial risk, plus inpatient-versus-observation level-of-care and ED utilization review. Every finding is anchored to a verbatim phrase from the note. Run it on notes the AI scribe just wrote, or standalone on notes from any EHR.

Who EvidenceMD is for

Physicians and residents use EvidenceMD to pressure-test a differential, check drug interactions, and draft medical-necessity rationales with supporting citations. Nurses and advanced practice providers use it for guideline-concordant workups and clear documentation. Biomedical researchers use DeepSearch to move quickly across the literature. And healthcare engineering teams embed the API to bring evidence-based reasoning into their own clinical workflows. Learn more about the people building it on the team page.

Because it is built for medicine, EvidenceMD is careful about what it does and does not claim: it is a clinical decision support tool that surfaces evidence and reasoning to support a licensed clinician's judgment, not a replacement for it. Every answer is designed to be checked, with the sources one click away.

Frequently asked questions

What is EvidenceMD?
EvidenceMD is an AI clinical decision support platform for doctors and healthcare professionals. It answers clinical questions with transparent, step-by-step reasoning and grounds every recommendation in evidence from PubMed and peer-reviewed journals — and it also includes an evidence-based AI medical scribe.
Is EvidenceMD better than ChatGPT for clinical questions?
Unlike general-purpose assistants, EvidenceMD is purpose-built for medicine. It shows its clinical chain-of-thought, cites peer-reviewed literature and guidelines with each answer, and is specialty-aware, so clinicians can verify the evidence behind every recommendation instead of trusting an unsourced response.
Does EvidenceMD have a mobile app?
Yes. EvidenceMD is available on the web, on iOS via the Apple App Store, and on Android via Google Play, plus a Chrome extension for the AI scribe. Your history and workspace stay in sync across devices.
Is EvidenceMD HIPAA compliant?
EvidenceMD is built with a HIPAA-aligned security posture: data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available for eligible plans.
Can developers build on the EvidenceMD API?
Yes. EvidenceMD offers an OpenAI-compatible medical AI API so teams can add evidence-based clinical reasoning with citations to EHRs, telehealth tools and healthcare products. See the Medical AI API page to get started.
Does EvidenceMD do CDI and utilization review?
Yes. EvidenceMD reviews a completed note for clinical documentation integrity and utilization management: ICD-10 specificity, MEAT support, HCC recapture across prior visits, E/M level based on 2-of-3 medical decision making, CPT and charge-capture gaps, and denial risk. It also covers utilization review — inpatient versus observation using Two-Midnight Rule reasoning, and a structured ED utilization review. Every finding is anchored to a verbatim phrase from the note, so nothing is invented.
Can I use the CDI and utilization review without the AI scribe?
Yes. CDI/UR runs both ways. Inside the AI scribe you review the note that was just drafted and apply the findings back into it in one click, with revert. Standalone, you paste or upload a note from any EHR and get the same review plus standalone-only capabilities: qualitative DRG impact, non-leading CC/MCC query drafts, inpatient-versus-observation level-of-care review, and ED utilization review.
How does EvidenceMD improve revenue integrity?
It surfaces revenue the documentation has not yet earned credit for. Because the same clinical reasoning engine builds the clinical picture before it looks for a code, it catches unspecified diagnoses that lose a CC or MCC, chronic conditions that were never reassessed, procedures performed but never billed, missing modifiers and E/M levels the note actually supports. A separate coding pass attaches estimated Medicare reimbursement based on CMS RVUs, each suggestion tied to a verbatim quote so it holds up under audit. EvidenceMD supports certified coders and CDI professionals rather than replacing them.
