For clinicians navigating the complexities of Epic EHR, the administrative burden of documentation can consume nearly half of the workday, contributing to burnout. AI scribes offer a solution by automating clinical note-taking, streamlining workflows, and allowing you to focus on patient care. While many solutions integrate directly with Epic, advanced AI agents provide a more flexible, EHR-agnostic alternative. This guide explores how AI scribes can transform your practice, key features to prioritize, and why an AI agent like S10.AI is the superior choice.
When selecting an AI scribe for Epic EHR, prioritize features that enhance efficiency and compatibility:
Traditional AI scribes rely on rigid, EHR-specific integrations via APIs or native code, which can break during updates or limit compatibility. S10.AI’s AI agent operates like a virtual assistant, interacting with Epic’s user interface as a human would. By observing the screen, it navigates layouts, enters text, and selects options autonomously, making it:

AI agent scribes deliver significant benefits:
When selecting an AI scribe, consider long-term flexibility. Native Epic integrations like Nuance DAX may suit single-system practices but lack adaptability. An EHR-agnostic AI agent like S10.AI offers:

How can an AI scribe work with my clinic's customized Epic templates and SmartPhrases?
A superior AI scribe, like an S10.AI agent, doesn't rely on rigid, conventional API integrations. Instead, it functions like a virtual assistant, intelligently interacting with your Epic interface just as a human would. This allows it to recognize and populate your clinic's specific custom templates, utilize existing SmartPhrases, and adapt to your unique documentation workflows without requiring complex IT changes. Consider implementing an AI agent that learns your workflow, rather than forcing you to change it, to maximize efficiency and maintain charting consistency.
What is the real difference between a native Epic integration and an EHR-agnostic AI agent?
A native Epic integration, like that offered by Nuance DAX, is built specifically for the Epic platform, embedding directly into its interface. While seamless, this locks you into a single EHR. An EHR-agnostic AI agent, such as S10.AI, offers a more flexible and powerful solution by operating on top of any electronic health record system. It learns to navigate the user interface of Epic, Cerner, or any other EHR, providing a consistent, universal experience for you, the clinician. Explore how an AI agent can future-proof your practice, ensuring you have a single, familiar tool regardless of the EHR system you're using.
My health system uses Epic, but I also work at a smaller clinic with a different EHR; will I need two separate AI scribe solutions?
Not if you choose the right technology. This is a common pain point for clinicians working across multiple sites. While most AI scribes are tied to a single EHR, an advanced AI agent like S10.AI is designed for this exact scenario. Because it's EHR-agnostic, the same agent can work seamlessly on your hospital's Epic system and your clinic's Athenahealth or eClinicalWorks platform. Learn more about how a single, unified AI scribe solution can simplify your documentation burden and provide a consistent workflow everywhere you practice.
