Why Orthopedic Practices Struggle with Documentation
Orthopedic surgeons spend over two hours daily documenting operative and follow-up notes. Even with speech-to-text software, most dictation tools still require time-consuming manual correction and formatting.
The result?
Click fatigue, decreased clinic throughput, and increasing levels of burnout among orthopedic physicians.

How AI Medical Scribes Solve These Problems
Modern AI medical scribes for orthopedic practices like Dorascribe eliminate the need for manual charting entirely. They listen to the doctor–patient conversation in real time, structuring it automatically into SOAP notes, operative reports, and post-op summaries.
Whether capturing range of motion, implant specifications, or incision details, the system understands orthopedic terminology natively.
Dorascribe also exports securely via text or PDF — no extra formatting needed.

AI Scribes vs. Traditional Dictation Tools
Traditional dictation tools transcribe, but they don’t understand context — requiring physicians to review and format every line.
By contrast, an AI scribe for orthopedic doctors, such as Dorascribe, delivers real-time, structured documentation. It recognizes procedure-specific language such as arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction, and open reduction internal fixation (ORIF).
This evolution reflects the broader transformation of scribing technology — explore it in The Evolution of Medical Scribing.
