Ask any clinician what they want from an AI scribe. They’ll probably speak in numbers: hours saved, notes taken, patients visited. 

But in small clinics, percentages and spreadsheets are only half of the story. There’s a very real ROI that’s intangible. It’s about: 

  • Finishing clinic at 4:58 PM with every note done
  • Walking into the weekend without a backlog
  • Having the mental space to actually listen to your last patient of the day

Each side of the coin is important — invaluable even. 

But those results don’t just come from any AI scribe. They come from one that’s built for small clinics. One that gets out of your way immediately. 

And that’s where Freed is different.

Accuracy that reduces minutes and mental load 

The documentation burden isn’t just time. It’s the mental overhead: recalling your visit, reformatting the note, fixing inaccuracies, and wondering what you’ve missed. 

Freed lightens that load at the source.

What you can measure

  • Clinicians report saving 5-15 hours per week, and nearly 20% save 15+ hours weekly
  • Freed filters out background noise for cleaner transcripts 
  • Notes reflect more than 27,000 medical terms and medications
  • ICD-10 suggestions streamline coding and reduce manual lookup
Chart, average hours saved per week. 45% 5-15 hours saved

What you can feel

  • Fully present in the conversation — without having to stop for note-taking
  • Trust that the transcript and notes are accurate
  • Notes that sound like you, not a generic template

Intuitive set-up and always-on support

Small clinics can’t wait weeks to deploy a new tool. If you can’t get started, you can’t see the benefits 

Freed is ready when they are.

What you can measure

  • Clinicians record their first visit within minutes
  • Chrome extension pushes notes to any browser-based EHR — no IT tickets needed
  • 24/7 white-glove clinician support

What you can feel

  • Less disruptions to your (already busy) day
  • No long learning curve
  • Genuine support from a team that’s obsessed with clinicians 

It’s the kind of simplicity that helps small teams breathe easier.

Billing that moves faster because your notes do

Documentation delays create billing delays — and in small clinics, even a few days can shift the entire month’s cash flow.

Freed closes that gap.

What you can measure

  • Note closure time can drop from ~21 days to just over 3 days, with many clinicians completing notes same-day
  • Because of this, orgs can collect payment up to 18 days sooner, improving cash flow predictability
  • Real-time note completion in many cases, creating same-day billable encounters

What you can feel

  • Fewer end-of-month logjams
  • A sense of control over billing
  • No open encounters waiting for you on Friday evening

That’s relief on an operational and emotional level. 

Leaving work on time (really)

Clinicians talk about Freed in terms of how they feel: lighter, calmer, more present.

And the numbers back that up.

What you can measure

In one multi-specialty health system, their clinicians reported: 

  • 100% improved work-life balance
  • 80% felt happier during their day
  • 80% saw improvements in patient care

What you can feel

  • Evenings without pajama time, and with the people you love 
  • Real presence with patients — including the last one of the day
  • A weekend that actually feels like a weekend

This is the ROI that you won’t see in a spreadsheet, but it changes everything.

Why Freed delivers faster ROI than other AI scribes

Freed isn’t a tacked on solution. It’s purpose-built for the realities of small and midsized clinics.

Documentation burdens are high, support is thin, and time is precious. We want to help. 

Freed accelerates ROI because it offers:

  • Unmatched note quality — accurate, specialty-aware notes that reduce work
  • Effortless onboarding — setup takes minutes, not months
  • Responsive support — A robust help center, chat bot, and committed support team 

It’s the combination of measurable gains and felt relief that sets Freed apart.
