PCC Scribe Quickstart Guide

PCC Scribe is a powerful tool for increasing your sense of connection in the exam room and reducing documentation burden. PCC Scribe transcribes while you tend to your patient, then creates a draft chart note for you to review, edit, and import into the patient’s visit protocol. Use of PCC Scribe is completely optional and can be enabled for a fee.

Import the Note into the Visit
