MedScrub runs as an embedded sidebar app inside the NextGen chart. The host EHR provides patient context — active problems, current medications, allergies, recent vitals — and MedScrub’s clinical skills operate on the loaded patient.
Integration model
MedScrub is embedded inside the NextGen chart view. NextGen supplies the active patient context to the embedded panel; MedScrub does not independently pull or sync FHIR data from NextGen. All PHI handled inside MedScrub passes through the self-hosted de-identification proxy.
Capabilities
Drafts a structured SOAP note from the patient context handed in by the EHR. Physician reviews, edits, and signs before copying into the EHR or using the EHR’s native document import flow.
Ask clinical questions grounded in the loaded patient’s data — differential diagnosis, drug interactions, evidence-based protocols.
On-demand summary of the active patient’s history, problems, and medications, generated when the chart is opened.
Per-patient HEDIS / USPSTF screening recommendations based on the chart data the EHR provides.
Drafts patient messages (pre-visit prep, post-visit follow-up, care-gap reminders) with clinical context from the loaded chart.
Data scope
Setup
01
The NextGen administrator configures MedScrub as an embedded application inside the chart workflow.
02
Clinicians sign into MedScrub from the embedded panel; the session inherits the patient context from the EHR.
03
Clinicians configure their own LLM API key in the MedScrub settings.
Tier limitations
The embedded sidebar integration is the EHR vendor’s third-party app pattern. Some MedScrub workflows require deeper FHIR connectivity that this tier does not provide.
