70% of the
paperwork. Gone.
Dr. Irfan Idrees came in skeptical. After a year of daily use, Notiro
removes 70% of his manual documentation — and he can't imagine
practicing without it.

- The client
Every encounter creates a parallel administrative task.
Dr. Irfan Idrees is a practicing physician at Virginia Medical Center in Virginia. Like most physicians in active clinical practice, every patient encounter he completes generates a parallel administrative task: comprehensive notes, accurate clinical histories, and diagnosis codes that must reflect the care delivered — precisely and completely. As documentation requirements have grown, so has the pressure to complete them without letting them bleed into patient time. That tension is where Dr. Idrees' story starts.
- The challenge
Not a paperwork problem — a presence problem.
The documentation burden in modern clinical practice isn't a paperwork problem. It's a presence problem. Every minute a physician spends on notes is a minute not spent on the patient in front of them — and in a busy clinic, those minutes compound.
Dr. Idrees was carrying that burden manually: writing notes, selecting diagnosis codes, maintaining clinical records — all tasks that followed each encounter and competed with the next one.
He was also skeptical. AI-assisted documentation had been marketed loudly in healthcare, but the question for any physician considering it isn't whether it sounds promising. It's whether it's accurate enough to trust with your patients' records.
That skepticism is the right instinct. It's also exactly what Notiro had to earn.
- The solution
Ambient capture and AI coding, native to Athena.
Dr. Idrees integrated Notiro's ConvoScribe ambient documentation module and AI Medical Coding directly into his Athena workflow.
- ConvoScribe
Captures each patient encounter in real time as the conversation unfolds — no dictation, no post-visit write-up, no relying on memory. Structured clinical notes generate automatically, inside the encounter rather than after it.
- AI Medical Coding
Works in parallel, identifying accurate diagnosis codes from the documented visit and removing a manual step that previously required separate attention.
- Native to Athena
Because Notiro integrates natively into Athena, there was no new system to learn and no disruption to how Dr. Idrees already practiced. The platform became part of the workflow — quietly, consistently, in the background of every consultation.
- The Results
Skepticism didn't survive contact with the results.
After more than a year of daily use, the outcome is unambiguous. Notiro now removes 70% of Dr. Idrees' manual documentation — the notes, the structure, the coding — while he focuses on the clinical work only he can do. The skepticism that preceded adoption didn't survive contact with the results. What replaced it, in Dr. Idrees' own words, was trust — built not through a pitch, but through consistent daily performance across a year of real clinical use.
"In this changing world of medicine, Notiro has proven to be a sigh of relief for me. I have been using it since last year. I was initially skeptical about the accuracy of the program. To my surprise, Notiro has reduced my work by 70%. Not only does it help me scribe my patient in real-time, but it also helps me find accurate codes, which are so important in this current medical environment. The program itself is amazing, and on top of that, the support provided by the team is definitely phenomenal."

- Why it matters for Athena users
Every Athena practice faces the same compounding pressure: documentation requirements keep growing while patient time stays fixed. Ambient documentation addresses that gap — but only if physicians can trust the accuracy of the output.
Dr. Idrees' experience represents what that trust looks like after a year of real clinical use: 70% less manual effort, coding support built into every encounter, and a workflow that runs quietly inside Athena without disruption.
If your documentation load is the biggest drain on your clinical day, that number is worth paying attention to.
