Ambient AI scribe for Dermatology teams on Epic

Draft structured dermatology SOAP notes during the visit, then move them into Epic without changing how your practice uses the chart.

Dermatology clinicians working in Epic lose most of their documentation time to the same two problems: the encounter has to be reconstructed from memory after the patient leaves, and the finished narrative still has to be typed into Epic's note fields between rooms. ScribeMDPro removes the first problem entirely and shortens the second. It records the dermatology consultation ambiently, keeps each problem separate, and returns a structured SOAP draft in seconds — already written in the register a dermatology note needs. Because ScribeMDPro runs independently in the browser, no Epic Systems build, plugin, or IT project is required to start: notes paste cleanly into Epic progress-note fields today, and a native integration is on the roadmap. This page shows what the workflow looks like for a dermatology clinic on Epic, what changes in the note, and what stays firmly under clinician control — every draft is reviewed, edited and signed by you before it becomes part of the record.

Documentation challenges we solve

  • Full-skin exams generate dozens of discrete lesion descriptions per visit
  • Anatomic location and lesion morphology require precise language
  • Same-day procedures (biopsy, cryo, ED&C) must be documented with exact site and technique
  • Notes still have to be retyped or restructured before they fit Epic's progress-note fields
  • Copy-forward inside Epic propagates stale problem lists into new dermatology encounters

What clinicians gain

  • Lesion-by-lesion structure with location, morphology, and disposition per lesion
  • Procedure documentation (biopsy site, technique, closure, specimen sent) captured discretely
  • Cosmetic consultation template with treatment plan and pricing discussion
  • Section headers paste cleanly into Epic without reformatting
  • No Epic Systems configuration required — individual clinicians can adopt it the same day

How it works

  1. Step 1
    Record the encounter

    Open ScribeMDPro before the dermatology visit and start ambient capture. The patient never has to talk to a device.

  2. Step 2
    Let the draft build itself

    A structured SOAP note appears seconds after the visit ends, written for dermatology rather than a generic template.

  3. Step 3
    Review and sign

    Edit inline, confirm every clinical fact, and approve. Nothing is filed without clinician sign-off.

  4. Step 4
    Move it into Epic

    Paste the block-formatted note into the Epic progress-note field, or export as PDF for scan-based workflows.

Example SOAP output

S: 52yo M for annual skin check. History of BCC (nose, 2021). No new symptomatic lesions.
O: Full skin exam. Notable lesions: (1) Left temple: 4mm pink pearly papule, suspicious for BCC — shave biopsy performed. (2) Mid back: 6mm dark seborrheic keratosis, benign — reassurance. (3) Right forearm: 3mm brown regular macule, benign nevus — annual monitoring.
A: 1) Suspicious lesion left temple. 2) Benign SK. 3) Stable nevus.
P: Biopsy sent. RTC in 2 weeks for results. Annual full-skin exam ongoing.

Frequently asked questions

Does ScribeMDPro work with Epic for dermatology?

Yes. ScribeMDPro runs alongside Epic — the finished note is pasted into the progress-note field or exported as PDF. A native integration is planned.

Do we need Epic Systems IT approval to trial it?

No Epic Systems-side build is needed for the copy-paste workflow, so a single clinician can trial ScribeMDPro without an IT project. Security review material is available in the Trust Center.

Is the note tailored to dermatology?

Yes. Drafts follow dermatology conventions — problem separation, the findings that matter for this specialty, and plan language your colleagues will recognise.

Who is accountable for what the note says?

The clinician. ScribeMDPro drafts; you review, correct and sign. Clinical judgement never moves to the model.

Is patient audio stored?

Consultation audio is not retained after the note is produced. See the Trust Center and Security pages for the current data-handling detail.
