Every word of the visit, captured. Every touch of the chart, governed.

AI Ambient Scribe listens to the visit and builds a transcript. AI Notes Draft turns that transcript and the chart into a SOAP note ready for sign-off. Both run as agents on Parapet, so the EHR access behind them is scoped to the encounter, logged, and revocable — not a standing integration with the keys to every chart.

The cost of the note
Two hours of charting for every one hour with a patient.

Independent specialty practices rarely have an in-house scribe. The note gets written after hours, from memory, or copy-forwarded from the last visit — and ambient dictation tools that exist today are usually billed per minute and given standing access to the whole chart to do it.

After-hours charting Per-minute vendor meters Broad, standing EHR grants
Why this is different

The scribe is an agent, not a bolt-on.

AI Ambient Scribe and AI Notes Draft run through Parapet's own agent runtime. The same discovery, permissioning and audit trail Parapet gives every other agent applies here: the scribe can request a transcript, the drafting agent can request the encounter's chart data, and neither can quietly hold more than that. Compute is self-hosted, so cost is infrastructure, not a per-minute meter on your patients' voices.

Note drafting stays template-first by default — deterministic, instant, and free. An AI-assisted draft only runs when a clinician explicitly asks for one, grounded in the full visit transcript and chart, never on a schedule and never automatically.

How it works

Two agents, one chart, one set of guardrails.

Ambient Scribe handles the room. Notes Draft handles the chart. Parapet handles what either of them is allowed to touch.

1AI Ambient Scribe

Captures doctor-patient audio from the browser mic with an explicit on-screen consent step, transcribes it locally on self-hosted, open-source models — no per-minute speech API, no audio leaving your infrastructure.

Speaker-labeled record
2AI Notes Draft

Merges every active problem the chart supports into one SOAP note using deterministic, guideline-based rules first. A clinician can trigger a richer AI-assisted draft grounded in the full transcript and chart at any point — never on its own.

Screenshots below are from the running Urology Command Center against a Synthea-generated synthetic patient — not a mockup, and not a real patient.

Compliance

HIPAA is Parapet's problem, not your integration's.

The same control plane that scopes and logs every other agent on Parapet applies to Ambient Scribe and Notes Draft, so the compliance work doesn't get re-solved per specialty or per EHR.

Encounter-scoped access

Every read or write is tied to the active encounter and the clinician who opened it — never a standing grant across the whole patient panel.

BAA & encryption

Business associate agreement in place, with encryption in transit and at rest for audio, transcripts and notes.

Minimum necessary

Agents request only the FHIR resources a given note needs, discovered and inventoried the same way any other Parapet agent's permissions are.

Full audit trail

Who ran the agent, what it read, what it wrote — reviewable per encounter, not reconstructed after the fact.

Recommended retention: raw audio is discarded once a transcript is finalized; the transcript and resulting note are what persist.

Parapet reads and writes through standard FHIR resources, so it isn't locked to one vendor's proprietary API.

Two specialties, live now.

Ambient Scribe and Notes Draft already recognize the visit pathways below — the note engine knows which findings, labs and thresholds matter for each one.

Ten pathways, from a routine visit to active oncology surveillance.

Elevated PSAPSA velocity, free/total ratio, biopsy timing
BPHIPSS trend, uroflow, medication response
Kidney stonesStone burden, imaging follow-up, metabolic workup
Prostate oncologyPost-treatment PSA surveillance, staging notes
HematuriaGross vs. microscopic workup, cystoscopy findings
Overactive bladderSymptom diaries, first- and second-line therapy
Men's healthTestosterone workup, related comorbidities
Recurrent UTICulture history, prophylaxis, referral criteria
InfertilitySemen analysis trends, hormonal workup
Routine follow-upInterval history, medication reconciliation

Nine pathways, from reflux management to GI bleed workup.

GERDSymptom response, PPI step-therapy, alarm features
Colon cancer screeningColonoscopy intervals, polyp history, FIT results
IBDFlare tracking, biologic response, calprotectin trend
IBSSymptom pattern, dietary triggers, Rome criteria
GI bleed workupHemoglobin trend, endoscopy findings, source localization
GallstonesImaging, symptom episodes, surgical referral timing
Liver diseaseLFT trend, fibrosis staging, etiology workup
Hepatocellular oncologyAFP surveillance, imaging interval, staging notes
PUD / H. pyloriTesting, eradication therapy, symptom resolution
