AI Pre-Visit Chart Summaries: What They Read, What They Miss, and a Pre-Charting Workflow
Epic, Abridge, Suki, Freed, Heidi and Commure now summarize the chart before a visit. We checked what each one actually reads (Epic's covers notes only, not labs or imaging), what the early research shows (about 18 seconds saved per visit at NYU; omissions are the most common error), how faster pre-charting affects time-based E/M coding, and a seven-step workflow.
Heidi Health Review 2026: The Best Free AI Scribe, and the New Fine Print That Pays for It
Heidi is the most popular free AI scribe, and Heidi II adds agents that work around the visit. We checked its US pricing ($150/month, or $110 billed annually), read the September 29, 2026 terms (sponsored content and de-identified training on the free plan, a BAA on every plan), and reviewed every independent study that names it.
Do Patients Actually Want AI Scribes? What the 2025–2026 Research Says
National polls in Canada and England find the public wary of AI scribes, while patients who have actually had one in the room mostly like it. Here is what the Stanford, Kaiser, Emory, VA, Canadian and Healthwatch data show, who is most hesitant, and how to ask patients so the consent conversation goes well.
Can Patients Get the AI Scribe Recording? HIPAA Access Rights After Raphael v. Mantei
A Washington court ruled in August 2026 that a patient had no right to her DAX ambient recording under state law. HIPAA asks a different question. Here is how the designated record set test applies to scribe audio, transcripts, and drafts, why it also defines information blocking, and the policy to write before the first request arrives.

Multilingual AI scribes are real, but 2026 research shows clinicians skip them in interpreted visits, and when they are used, 55-60% of interpreter errors land in the note. Here is what Section 1557 still requires (including human review of machine-translated patient instructions), what each vendor documents, and a visit workflow that works.
