A leadership guide to comparing home health AI scribes: Why integration and complete home health workflow support matters.
If you are a home health leader in 2025, your inbox is likely full of pitches for "AI Scribes."
It seems like a new tool pops up every week, promising to solve your documentation crisis. But as agencies rush to adopt these tools, many are discovering a painful truth: Most "AI Scribes" are just fancy dictation apps.
They might work for just a few simple OASIS visits. But to support an entire home health workforce for every visit type? That is a different beast.
Our industry is complex. It involves 100-page referral packets, OASIS compliance, intricate wound care measurements, and medication reconciliation, all happening in unpredictable home environments. A generic AI tool, even one marketed for home health, simply breaks under that pressure.
At Roger Healthcare, we have run head-to-head pilots against competitors for years. Time and again, agencies realize that basic ambient listening is not enough.
Before you sign a contract, run any potential AI partner through this 10-point home health checklist to ensure you're getting a solution that actually works at scale.
The Generic Way: Many tools claim they "integrate," but the reality often falls short. Frequently, these connections are fragile and break at scale when deployed across a full agency. Or worse, their idea of integration is simply "copy-paste," forcing clinicians to manually transfer blocks of text into the EHR where errors happen and time is lost.
The Roger Standard: We offer robust, scalable, direct integration. Our proprietary system syncs structured data into your EHR in near real-time. We don't just give you a summary; we place the data into the correct fields, saving your team from being data-entry clerks.
The Generic Way: Some tools essentially require the clinician to narrate the visit in a robotic way: "Patient reports pain is 5 out of 10." This isn't AI, and it interrupts the natural flow of care.
The Roger Standard: Roger uses true ambient listening. The clinician hits record and has a natural conversation. Our AI is trained on millions of home health visits, so it understands that when a patient says, "I walked to the mailbox yesterday," that implies specific functional scores for ambulation.
The Generic Way: Most scribes choke on complex regulatory forms. Try reading a list of 15 medications to them, and you get a jumbled paragraph. Ask them to handle wound measurements or generate a compliant Plan of Care, and they fail.
The Roger Standard: We support the full comprehensive assessment. We don't just summarize the conversation; we help complete the entire OASIS, including critical items like M1800s and GG scores. You can snap a picture of a medication bottle and Roger extracts that data to populate the EHR instantly. We even generate a structured Plan of Care based on the visit's findings.
The Generic Way: Some "hybrid" services actually use humans behind the scenes to quality-check notes, meaning you might not get your documentation back for 24 hours or more.
The Roger Standard: We are fully AI-driven. Your clinicians get their complete, structured notes back in minutes, usually before they even get to their car.
The Generic Way: Most tools only help during the visit. They offer zero help with the hours of prep work required before the clinician even rings the doorbell.
The Roger Standard: Roger ingests and summarizes hundreds of pages of discharge paperwork before the visit. We pre-fill the chart with crucial context (like the patient history) so the clinician walks in prepared, not scrambling to read a PDF on their phone.
The Generic Way: You record the visit, leave the home, and realize three hours later you forgot to ask a critical question required for compliance.
The Roger Standard: Roger acts as a compliance guardrail. Our app acts as a co-pilot, ensuring notes are complete before the clinician leaves the home, flagging missed information while the patient is still right there.
The Generic Way: Generic models often "hallucinate" or miss-categorize medical details, forcing clinicians to spend more time editing the AI's work than if they had just typed it themselves.
The Roger Standard: Because our model is trained specifically on home health data, our accuracy is industry-leading. Clinicians spend their time reviewing, not rewriting.
The Generic Way: If your patient speaks Spanish, Mandarin, or Russian, most tools fail or require a separate translator app, adding another layer of complexity.
The Roger Standard: Roger supports multi-language detection. You can speak naturally in the patient's primary language, and Roger will generate the clinical documentation in perfect English for the chart.
The Generic Way: You get a one-size-fits-all output. If your agency has specific clinical guidelines, custom narrative formats, or unique workflows, the AI ignores them.
The Roger Standard: We understand that every agency is different. Roger can be configured to align with your specific clinical guidelines and desired narrative structures, ensuring the output matches your agency's high standards.
The Generic Way: Many AI startups have cool demos but zero large-scale deployments. They haven't been battle-tested in the real world.
The Roger Standard: We are proven at scale with large enterprise customers. We have published case studies of agencies that have fully deployed Roger across their fleets, seeing massive reductions in turnover and overtime.
In home health, "good enough" isn't good enough. You need a tool that understands the difference between a recertification and a resumption of care.
Don't settle for a generic scribe that creates more work than it saves. Choose the partner that was built for scale and aligns with your agency's needs and workflows.
