QiiQ Scribe

Ambient capture, speaker separation and structured note generation are the entire product, with a stated intention to expand into a wider clinical assistant. No services layer or platform business underneath.

The review gate is built into the workflow rather than described in prose. Notes carry explicit In Progress, Complete and Archive states, and the vendor states plainly that the note may be edited by the physician before it is marked as complete, so completion is a deliberate clinician action rather than a system event. That state machine is a clearer mechanism than most competitors offer at this size. Held at B because no acceptance rate, edit burden figure or confidence threshold is published.

More mechanical description than most small vendors offer, naming voice separation between physician and patient, background noise suppression tuned for the emergency department, and prompts refined for non linear workflows and clinical anomalies rather than generic clinical language. But nothing is measured: no accuracy figure, model card, named models or evaluation methodology was located.

No study, controlled evaluation, accuracy benchmark, third party rating, named customer or deployment count was located. Time saving is claimed as hours per shift without denominator or method. App store presence across iOS and Android shows an actively maintained product with a visible release history, which is a modest reliability signal rather than evidence of benefit.

Not assessed. The only statement located is that the product meets the HIPAA standard for data privacy and security, which is a compliance assertion rather than a data lifecycle. No retention schedule for audio or transcripts, no de identification practice and no statement on whether customer content trains models was located.

Graded down for a jurisdictional gap rather than an absence. The vendor states it meets the HIPAA standard, but QiiQ is a British Columbia company whose stated beachhead is the emergency department and whose natural market is Canadian hospitals, and no claim was located for PIPEDA, provincial health information legislation or British Columbia's own privacy statute. Citing only the United States regime is an odd position for a Canadian vendor selling into Canadian care settings, and a Canadian buyer should establish the domestic compliance position directly rather than reading HIPAA as a proxy for it.

Not assessed. No named or dated attestation and no trust centre located in this pass.

Not a regulated medical device and none claimed or required for ambient documentation.

Nothing located. No fairness statement, subgroup analysis or accent and dialect performance disclosure, and no language coverage claimed. The gap is worth pressing in this setting specifically: emergency departments serve unscheduled populations with the widest range of language, intoxication, distress and acuity of any care setting, which is the hardest acoustic and linguistic environment a speech model can face.

The default workflow is transfer: notes are viewed in the web application and copied into the record. EMR integration exists but is offered on request rather than shipped, with the vendor inviting interested buyers to make contact, which means integration is bespoke and its depth is unknowable in advance. The pitch that a clinician can push notes into the record without bothering the IT department is appealing for a physician group with no informatics support, and it is also the description of a workflow that bypasses the usual integration governance.

Not assessed. Cloud delivered with iOS, Android and web clients, but no hosting region, residency option or sub processor detail was located, which is a specific gap for a Canadian vendor whose buyers face provincial residency expectations.

Partial. A first month free with no credit card is offered and stated plainly, and team discounts are advertised, but no rate card, tier structure or per clinician figure was located and team pricing requires contact. A buyer knows the trial terms and nothing about the cost.

Deliberately narrow and genuinely specialised, the same shape as Sayvant in the same specialty. The emergency department differs from outpatient care in ways this product addresses directly: acoustic clutter, and a non linear workflow where a physician holds several patients open at once, is interrupted, and returns to encounters out of order, which is why the note state machine matters more here than elsewhere. Note structure covers history of present illness, review of systems, exam and assessment and plan. The stated roadmap runs from the emergency department to the wider hospital and then outpatient, so current coverage is one setting done properly rather than many done thinly.
