45 minutes saved every audiologist, every clinic day.
Across Canada, audiologists face the same challenge: providing exceptional patient care while keeping up with increasingly detailed documentation requirements. Every minute spent typing notes is time that cannot be spent listening, counselling patients, or helping another individual improve their hearing.
At Davidson Hearing, one of Ontario's leading independent hearing healthcare providers, audiologist Lindsay Delorey began using VitaScribe to streamline clinical documentation without disrupting the natural flow of patient appointments.
Rather than replacing her clinical workflow, VitaScribe became an intelligent documentation assistant—capturing the conversation, organizing clinical information, and generating structured notes for review. Lindsay estimated saving approximately 45 minutes every clinic day while feeling more engaged with patients and more confident that important clinical details were captured accurately.
The challenge
During every appointment, audiologists are expected to listen carefully to patient concerns, collect a comprehensive hearing history, explain diagnostic findings, counsel patients on treatment options, document recommendations, and produce complete clinical records.
Unfortunately, documentation often competes with patient interaction. Instead of maintaining eye contact and engaging naturally, clinicians can find themselves splitting attention between their patient and their keyboard. Many notes are finished after appointments—or even after clinic hours.
Like many hearing healthcare professionals, Lindsay wanted to reduce the administrative burden without sacrificing documentation quality or changing the way she practiced. The goal wasn't simply faster notes. It was to spend more time being an audiologist.
The solution
Davidson Hearing adopted VitaScribe, an AI-powered ambient clinical documentation platform built specifically for healthcare professionals.
Rather than manually documenting every detail during appointments, VitaScribe securely captures the conversation and automatically generates a structured clinical note for the clinician to review and finalize. No complicated implementation, no disruption to existing workflows, and no change to clinical decision making.
VitaScribe quietly handles the repetitive work of documentation while clinicians remain focused on what matters most: the patient sitting in front of them. Because it complements existing documentation rather than replacing practice management software, onboarding required very little training. Within days, it became part of Lindsay's normal clinical workflow.
Key features used:
- Ambient AI documentation
- Structured clinical note generation
- Patient history capture
- Counselling summaries and clinical recommendations
- Simple review and editing before finalizing documentation
Outcomes and business impact
The biggest improvement wasn't simply documentation speed. It was reclaiming valuable clinical time. Lindsay estimated that VitaScribe saved approximately 45 minutes every clinic day—3.75 hours every week and 16.25 hours every month.
Based on a typical five-day clinic schedule and average appointment lengths of 45 minutes, that recovered time creates the potential to accommodate 16–21 additional patient appointments each month. Actual appointment capacity will vary by practice.
The most meaningful benefit wasn't measured in minutes. Instead of trying to remember every detail while simultaneously typing notes, Lindsay could remain fully engaged throughout appointments. Patients received better eye contact, conversations felt more natural, and clinical counselling became less interrupted.
VitaScribe produced a comprehensive clinical summary for review, reducing the mental burden of remembering every recommendation, symptom, counselling discussion, and follow-up instruction. Lindsay remained in complete control over every finalized chart while spending significantly less time creating it.
“I was probably saving about 45 minutes at the end of the day. Instead of trying to listen and write everything down, VitaScribe keeps my notes together so I can focus on my patients.”
The return
For just $99 CAD per audiologist each month, VitaScribe helps clinicians reclaim more than 16 hours every month. That recovered time can be used to accommodate additional patients, reduce clinician burnout, complete documentation before leaving the clinic, improve patient interactions, and increase operational efficiency.
Whether the goal is seeing more patients, reducing administrative burden, or improving work-life balance, VitaScribe delivers measurable value from the very first week.
