AI transcription tools

Mental Health Court Support care providers may use ScribeBerry, an AI transcription tool or “AI scribe,” during your visit. ScribeBerry securely captures notes from your conversation so your care provider can focus more on you and less on paperwork.

Your provider will always ask for your verbal consent before using this tool and will carefully review and edit all notes before they are added to your medical record.

For more information about AI transcription tools, please see our Patient Privacy page.
