Four contexts, one assessment record.
Specialty practice doesn't fit one shape. Below — four working contexts BrainScribe was built for, with what the platform does and what it leaves to the clinician.
A solo neuropsychologist or clinical psychologist running an assessment-led private practice — referrals from GPs, geriatricians, paediatricians, legal teams. The bottleneck is not consultations; it's the four-to-six hours of scoring, integration, and writing that happen after the patient leaves.
BrainScribe keeps every artefact for one patient on one record. Scales sent before the appointment return to the same record the test scores enter. The integrated draft composes background, results, domain profile, impression, and recommendations from that record — not from a template the clinician fills in.
What it does for the solo clinician. Replaces the scattering of paper questionnaires, Excel scoring sheets, and Word templates with a single workspace. Returns the report-writing afternoon to clinical time. Carries forward the practitioner's preferred phrasing across drafts. Exports DOCX and PDF directly into the practitioner's own filing system.
What it doesn't do. Practice management. Booking. Medicare claiming. Patient messaging. Direct EMR integration with Best Practice, MedicalDirector, or Genie — exports route through DOCX. The platform stops at the assessment artefact, which is where the clinician's parallel tooling picks up.
A multi-clinician group — usually three to twelve practitioners — where assessments may be split across team members. A neuropsychologist runs cognitive testing; a clinical psychologist conducts the clinical interview; a registrar drafts the report under supervision. The handoff is the most common failure point — scales completed by one clinician, scored by another, written up by a third, signed by the supervising senior.
BrainScribe's record model is shared at the practice level. Clinic-tier accounts route every artefact attached to an assessment record to every authorised practitioner. Supervisor review states are visible on each section before sign-off.
What it does for the group practice. Centralises the assessment record across the team. Routes risk-flagged completions to the on-call clinician, not just to the inbox of the practitioner who sent the scale. Tracks supervision review state per section. Generates one audit trail for the patient, not three.
What it doesn't do. Replace the practice's clinical-governance committee. Replace clinical supervision conversation. Adjudicate scope-of-practice questions — the platform enforces the access policy the practice configures, but the practice is responsible for the policy. Practice-wide billing and roster management remain in the practice's existing tooling.
A university teaching clinic — postgraduate trainees in clinical neuropsychology or clinical psychology working on supervised cases as part of their endorsement programme. The teaching priority is making the reasoning visible — why this norm group, why this interpretation, why this recommendation — without slowing the trainee down to the point of incoherence.
BrainScribe was built around the source-to-draft trace exactly because of this audience. Every drafted sentence cites the data row it came from. A supervisor can read the draft, click any sentence, and see the score or transcript fragment that produced it. The trainee learns to evaluate the draft against its sources rather than against the supervisor's preferred phrasing.
What it does for the university clinic. Makes draft provenance inspectable. Renders the same trace in the editor and the exported PDF so feedback is anchored to source, not opinion. Supports cohort-level export of de-identified report templates for teaching review (with patient consent and ethics approval). Records review state per section so a trainee's authored vs. edited content is visible.
What it doesn't do. Grade the trainee. Sign the report. Substitute for supervision contact. The platform makes the reasoning visible; the supervisor decides whether the reasoning is sound. Research use under ethics approval is supported on request — contact partnerships at the email on the contact page.
A hospital neuropsychology or geriatric-medicine service. Assessments often run on short windows — a capacity opinion before a discharge meeting, a DBS pre-operative cognitive profile before a multi-disciplinary team review, a delirium-versus-dementia question with a 48-hour return. The workflow has more clinicians around the patient than a private-practice assessment and tighter constraints on when the report has to land.
BrainScribe's structured-scribe surface routes interview content into the section it belongs in — presenting concern, history, cognition, mood and behaviour, mental state, formulation — so the integrated draft is ready for clinician review by the end of the session, not the end of the week. Informant scales (IQCODE-SF, NPI-Q) and patient self-report scales (PHQ-9, GAD-7, K10, ESS) sit alongside the cognitive testing on the same record.
What it does for the hospital service. Compresses the assessment-to-draft cycle to within a single working day where the data is available. Renders structured sections for the multi-disciplinary team handover. Handles informant data and patient data as distinct channels with separate tokens. Generates audit-trail-bearing PDFs suitable for medical-record filing.
What it doesn't do. Sit inside the hospital's EMR. No direct write-back to iPM, Cerner, Epic, eMR, or BOSSnet. v1 exports DOCX and PDF for medical-records import. v1 is also not optimised for the on-ward, no-network, paper-only inpatient scenario — that's a roadmap item. Network connectivity is required throughout the assessment.
BrainScribe is built for specialty practice. If the work is consultation notes rather than assessments — a GP day, a brief psychiatry follow-up, a session-by-session psychotherapy practice — an ambient scribe is the right tool. If the work is integrating scales, tests, observations, and interview content into a written report, BrainScribe is the tool that exists for that.
