Important Notice
ChartScribe is a clinical documentation tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always use your own clinical judgment when making patient care decisions.
1. No Medical Advice
ChartScribe is an AI-powered documentation platform designed to assist healthcare professionals with clinical note-taking. It is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or clinical decision support system.
ChartScribe does not:
- Provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations
- Interpret clinical findings or laboratory results
- Assess patient risk or predict clinical outcomes
- Replace the professional judgment of qualified healthcare providers
- Constitute a patient-doctor relationship between ChartScribe and any patient
2. AI-Generated Content
ChartScribe uses artificial intelligence (specifically speech recognition and natural language processing) to transcribe audio recordings and structure clinical notes. You must understand that:
- AI-generated notes may contain errors, omissions, or misinterpretations
- The AI may fail to accurately capture medical terminology, drug names, or complex clinical concepts
- Accents, background noise, and overlapping speech can affect transcription accuracy
- The AI does not understand context, nuance, or clinical significance
- You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and correcting all AI-generated content
Never sign, submit, or rely on any AI-generated note without thorough human review.
3. Professional Responsibility
As a healthcare professional using ChartScribe, you retain full responsibility for:
- The accuracy and completeness of all clinical documentation
- All clinical decisions and patient care outcomes
- Complying with applicable laws, regulations, and professional standards
- Maintaining your professional registration and indemnity insurance
- Following your organisation's clinical governance and information governance policies
- Obtaining valid consent from patients for recording and processing their data
4. Liability Limitation
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ChartScribe shall not be liable for:
- Any clinical errors, misdiagnoses, or adverse patient outcomes arising from use of the platform

5. Emergency Situations
ChartScribe is not designed for use in medical emergencies. In an emergency:
- Do not rely on ChartScribe for time-critical decision-making
- Follow your organisation's emergency protocols and clinical guidelines
- ChartScribe's note generation may take 60-90 seconds — this is not suitable for emergency documentation where immediate action is required
