Every clinician works differently, which is why we created Default Scribe. This feature adjusts how Heidi "thinks" to match your needs. Whether you're writing simple notes or tackling complex cases, Scribe Defaults ensures your documentation fits your style perfectly.

Who has access to Default Scribe?

  • Standard: Available to all users
