Dr. Patrick Dermody, a family medicine physician, shares how DeepScribe’s ambient AI helps him stay ahead of Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) capture. Before entering a patient room, he can quickly scan relevant HCC codes to ensure documentation aligns with clinical requirements. After the visit, he reviews the transcript to confirm that all necessary elements are in place. What stands out, he notes, is how DeepScribe picks up on diagnoses that wouldn’t typically surface in CMS claims alone. These real-time insights make a difference in accurately reflecting patient complexity and improving risk scoring. For Dr. Dermody, DeepScribe offers more than just efficiency — it provides peace of mind that critical clinical details aren’t being missed.

With the HCC capture and intelligence with DeepScribe, I can look real quickly, I can check what the HCC codes are before I enter a room to make sure that those are charted correctly. And then when DeepScribe's finished transcribing everything, I can just quickly double check to make sure those things are covered. The really nice feature to have to make sure that, yes, you know, this is capturing all the components of the meet criteria that we need. Absolutely, there are things that the scribe captures that you wouldn't just find if you're just looking over CMS claims and trying to pull that over. There are diagnoses that get brought up during the visit that, you know, get captured that are HCC codes that end up being very important for our overall score. So, absolutely.
