Respecting the doctor’s workflow

Today, many AI scribes sit outside the EMR, which means the final medicolegal record is still shaped by manual copy/paste and re-entry. Those tiny frictions feel harmless, but they’re actually where clinical and legal risk accumulates.

In general practice, the scribe should not be the job. The job is everything that happens after: letters, referrals, billing, care plans. A scribe that doesn’t live inside the workflow forces clinicians to build a fragile bridge between two systems — a bridge that breaks most easily when time is short or patients are complex.

That’s why the next generation of AI in primary care won’t sit next to the EMR. It will live inside it, quietly handling the downstream work of each consult. Integration isn’t a feature; it’s what keeps the system safe.

An AI scribe that forces a new workflow and leaves the downstream work untouched isn't solving a problem; it's creating a new silo. The best clinical experience is one that's seamless, integrated, and frees the clinician from the admin. That's why we're building the most integrated AI scribe, not just another silo that ignores the necessary tools doctors use in their daily workflow.

The problem with the “silo scribe”

For general practitioners, the clinical encounter is only the first domino. The downstream administrative work—the billing, the referrals, the quality reporting—is the burden that follows every single patient visit.

AI scribes that dismiss these "back-office values" willfully ignore the crushing administrative reality faced by GPs daily.

An AI scribe that focuses only on generating a perfect note but refuses to deeply integrate with the existing tools doctors rely on is not a solution; it’s a new silo.

  • It creates the need for manual copy-and-paste from the scribe output to the EMR.
  • It leaves the team scrambling to correct poor documentation.
  • It forces the clinician to adopt a brand-new, non-standard workflow just for documentation.

An AI that only helps in the consult room but leaves the admin and billing untouched is only solving half the problem—and often, creating more work for someone else.

Why integration is the ultimate clinical experience

Our mission is to be the most integrated AI scribe for GPs. This is not an optional feature; it is the core value proposition.

We don't force clinicians to change their established, trusted ways of working. Instead, we aim to optimise the current workflow with:

  1. Deep EMR integration: Ensuring the generated note flows seamlessly and accurately into the right fields in the right EMRs.
  2. No New Silos: Operating invisibly within the existing clinical framework.

The best clinical experience is one that is seamless, integrated, and frees the clinician from the EMR and from the admin burden.

What Deep Integration Means for You:

  • One-Click Documentation: Lyrebird natively integrates with leading EMR systems (including Best Practice, Gentu, Meditech, and more). This means patient details are pre-filled, and the completed note is saved directly into the correct patient file with a single click.
  • Zero Copy-Paste Errors: By eliminating manual data transfer, we protect you from medico-legal risks associated with mixing up patient notes or entering data incorrectly.
  • Workflow Personalisation: Lyrebird is an adaptive assistant. It learns your unique consulting style, terminology, and preferred note structure from your edits and templates, ensuring the generated note is clinically accurate and naturally compliant with your personal documentation standards.
  • Beyond the Note: Our integration extends to generating comprehensive referrals, patient summaries, and medical certificates in seconds, streamlining the entire post-consultation process.
