AI medical scribe FAQs
Answers about Breva notes, review, EMR compatibility, patient documents and getting started.
Notes and review
What is an AI medical scribe?
An AI medical scribe turns a recorded visit into draft clinical documentation. Breva prepares a SOAP note, suggested billing codes and a patient summary after recording stops, ready for your review.
Can I dictate instead of recording a patient conversation?
Yes. You can record a visit or dictate a summary of it. Breva prepares the documents from the recording; see the AI medical scribe workflow.
When is the note written?
After you stop recording. The transcript appears while you record.
What does Stat do?
Stat is Breva's AI assistant. It compares the note with the recorded conversation, flags missing or conflicting details and suggests corrections for you to review.
Can I change what Breva writes?
Yes. Review and edit the clinical note and patient summary, and inspect the evidence behind recommendations.
What should I check before using an AI-generated note?
Read the note against the conversation and check the patient, medications, doses, assessment and follow-up instructions. Review suggested codes and the separate patient summary before you copy, export or send the documents.
Does Breva suggest ICD-10 and CPT codes?
Yes. Breva suggests diagnosis and procedure codes and reviews the office-visit level alongside the note. You can inspect a fictional example on the sample note and codes page.
EMR compatibility and setup
Do I need Meditab IMS?
No. Use Breva in your browser without an EMR connection, then copy or export your reviewed documents.
Which EHR or EMR systems does Breva connect to directly?
Direct chart access and sending are available through a practice-specific Meditab IMS connection. With another EMR, use standalone notes and copy or export the documents; see workflow availability.
What does IMS add?
Schedule, available chart information, pre-visit preparation, Annual Wellness Visits and the ability to send reviewed visit documentation to the open IMS visit.
What is needed to send a note to Meditab IMS?
Your practice needs its own configured IMS connection and an open visit for the patient in IMS. After you review the documents and choose to send, Breva checks for that open visit; see connection setup.
Does standalone mode include the schedule or Annual Wellness Visits?
No. Standalone notes include recording, notes, suggested codes, review and patient summaries. Schedule, chart access and the Annual Wellness Visit workflow require the Meditab IMS connection.
Does Breva replace my EMR?
No. Breva prepares documentation for your existing workflow. Your EMR remains the destination for the reviewed visit.
Languages and documents
Which languages are supported?
Live transcription supports 18 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, Norwegian, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese. You can switch between them during the conversation. Patient summaries are available in English and Spanish.
Can I copy or download the note and patient summary?
Yes. The clinical note and patient summary have separate copy and PDF options. The complete sample visit includes downloadable examples of both documents.
Is the sample visit a real patient?
No. The visit illustrations use a fictional example. Booking a demo schedules a real meeting.
Where can I read about patient data handling?
The security page describes clinical data handling. The separate website privacy page explains public-site cookies, analytics and demo contact details.
Access, pricing and demos
How much does Breva cost?
Breva is in early access, and no public price has been established. Discuss pricing and practice-specific setup during a demo.
How do I book a demo?
Choose an available date and time on the demo page, then enter your name, practice and email. Phone is optional; you can also request a call or email if the available times do not work.
What should I bring to a demo?
Bring the name of your EMR and the documentation steps you want to explore. The demo uses a fictional visit, so you do not need to submit patient information.
How can I evaluate an AI medical scribe for my practice?
Compare the draft with its source conversation, try the review controls and inspect the exported documents. Use the AI medical scribe evaluation guide to check the workflow from recording through chart entry.
