What is ReasonNotes?
A deep dive into what ReasonNotes does, who it helps, and how it improves clinical documentation.

What is ReasonNotes?
Healthcare providers today are overwhelmed—not just by patients, but by paperwork. Clinical documentation has become one of the most time-consuming, burnout-inducing parts of the job. Physicians spend nearly 49% of their workday on EHRs and 1.84 hours after hours just completing notes. This is where ReasonNotes comes in.
ReasonNotes is an AI-powered medical scribe designed to take the burden of documentation off clinicians' shoulders—without compromising accuracy, compliance, or care quality.
Why Documentation Needs Reinventing
The modern healthcare system demands exhaustive documentation for compliance, reimbursement, and care continuity. But the tools providers use to meet these demands are often clunky, inefficient, and outdated.
- Up to 4.5 hours per day is spent on documentation
- 1 in 3 physicians works 2+ hours after hours daily
- Clinical burnout is directly linked to note-taking overload
ReasonNotes isn't just a note-taker. It's a reimagined solution built to make documentation fast, intelligent, and frictionless.
What ReasonNotes Does
At its core, ReasonNotes uses real-time speech recognition, speaker diarization, and medical NLP to turn natural clinical conversations into structured, review-ready notes.

✅ Key Capabilities:
- Transcribes live or recorded sessions
- Separates speakers (e.g., provider vs. patient)
- Extracts clinical context: symptoms, diagnoses, medications
- Auto-generates notes in common formats (SOAP, BIRP, DAP, etc.)
- Supports structured forms like intake, assessment, and discharge notes
Whether it's a 20-minute therapy session or a primary care consult, ReasonNotes adapts to your workflow.
