A channel, not an app
BuzzScribe is delivered as a channel inside Buzz. There is no second application to deploy, no second login for staff, and no second place the record lives.
The problem
A scribe in its own app is one more place the record can end up.
Documentation tools usually arrive as a separate application, with their own login, their own device and their own copy of what was said. The care team then has two records of the same visit and no single place to look.
For a field clinician, the richest account of a visit is the conversation in the room. Too often it is typed up later, from memory, after the last visit of the day. BuzzScribe lets that conversation become the draft note while the clinician is still in the home.
How it works
Capture. Note. Channel.
Three steps, from the visit itself to the patient's channel in Buzz.
1 · Capture
On whatever the clinician already carries
BuzzScribe is hardware-agnostic. It does not require a dedicated recording device, a badge, a dongle or a room kit.
2 · Note
Speech becomes a draft note
The conversation is turned into a structured visit note by a speech engine built for clinical terminology. The clinician reviews and edits the draft before it goes to the team.
3 · Channel
It lands inside Buzz
The result posts into the Buzz channel for that patient, alongside the team's messages, files and calls, rather than into a separate scribe inbox.
Illustration
A visit on one side. A note on the other.
Play a made-up home visit and watch a structured note assemble beside it. Use the chips to show or hide sections. Everything here is written into the page: nothing is recorded, transcribed or sent anywhere, and no speech or AI service is called.
What was saidKestrel Hollow · demonstration agency
ClinicianMorning, Mr. Alvarez. How has the knee been since Thursday?
PatientStiff first thing. I got up the back steps on my own yesterday, though.
ClinicianThat is good news. Any swelling by the end of the day?
PatientA little. My daughter puts the ice pack on around six.
ClinicianKeep that going. I will leave the exercise sheet here, and I will come back Tuesday at the same time.
What the note holds
Press play and the note fills in as the visit goes on.
Reason for visit
Post-operative knee follow-up, home visit.
Observations

What it is, and what it is not
A channel inside Buzz, and no device to buy.
Hardware-agnostic
No dedicated capture device. Nothing to procure per clinician, nothing to replace when it is dropped in a driveway.
Hands-free between visits
Dictate assessment findings, care plan updates and observations between stops, or record a voice memo that shows up as searchable text in the patient's channel.
Use cases
Three settings an agency would start in.
- Bedside visit notes The conversation with the patient becomes a structured draft visit summary in the patient's channel, ready for the clinician to review.
- Dictation between visits Findings, care plan updates and clinical observations are spoken once and land in the channel as text the team can search.
- Wound documentation Describe measurements and tissue characteristics aloud while documenting the wound, and the description goes into the same patient thread.
Safety and data
Where it sits, and who can reach it.
BuzzScribe inherits the platform's posture, because it runs inside Buzz rather than beside it. The items below are platform-level.
Getting started
Start in one channel.
Starting means starting where the care team already is: one Buzz channel, a small group of clinicians, and an agreed definition of what a good result looks like before anyone begins.
Terms are flexible: monthly, quarterly or annual, whichever suits the way your agency budgets. You are never locked in against your will, and the notice period is 60 days.
Questions agencies ask
Is this a separate scribe app?
No. BuzzScribe is a channel inside Buzz. There is no second application to roll out and no second login for staff.
Do we have to buy hardware?
No. BuzzScribe is hardware-agnostic and does not require a dedicated capture device.
Where does the note end up?
In the Buzz channel for that patient, alongside the rest of that patient's communication record.
Does it reach our EHR?
The note lives in the patient's Buzz channel. EHR connection is handled through BuzzStreams, and a demo is the best place to see how it fits your charting workflow.
Who can see a note before the team does?
The clinician reviews, edits and approves the draft before it is submitted. After that it sits in the patient's channel, where access follows the same administrator-managed groups as the rest of the conversation.
Does the clinician review it first?
Yes. Field staff review, edit and approve what BuzzScribe drafts before it is submitted.
Is the audio kept?
Audio is encrypted in transit and at rest, like everything else that moves through Buzz. What the care team works from is the note in the patient's channel.
Next step
See it in the channel, not in a slide.
The fastest way to judge an ambient documentation tool is to watch where the output lands. Book a demo and we will show you the channel it posts into.
BuzzScribe is part of the Buzz platform, alongside BuzzDrive, BuzzStreams and BuzzVoice.
