The Affordable AI Scribe for Cerner Users
Cerner (now Oracle Health) is one of the largest EHR vendors in the United States, used by thousands of hospitals, health systems, and ambulatory practices. Following Oracle's acquisition, Cerner continues to be a dominant force in healthcare IT.
While Cerner offers enterprise AI documentation solutions, these tools typically cost hundreds of dollars per provider per month and require lengthy IT implementations. SOAP Note Buddy offers an alternative: a browser-based AI scribe that works with Cerner's web-based interfaces at a fraction of the cost.
SOAP Note Buddy works as a browser extension (Chrome, Safari, Brave, Edge) with Cerner PowerChart when accessed through a browser, with companion iOS and Android apps on the same subscription. If you access Cerner through a browser, our AI can detect and fill documentation fields automatically.

How SOAP Note Buddy Works with Cerner
SOAP Note Buddy integrates with Cerner through intelligent browser-based field detection. Here's the process:
Get SOAP Note Buddy
Start your free trial, then add the browser extension (Chrome, Safari, Brave, Edge) or install the iOS or Android app. Setup takes under a minute, with no IT tickets and no approval process.
Add Your Patient Context
Enter the patient's clinical context - diagnosis, history, treatment plan, and relevant information. This data stays on your device and is never stored on external servers.
Open Cerner in Your Browser
Navigate to your patient's chart in Cerner PowerChart web version. SOAP Note Buddy automatically detects documentation fields - progress notes, assessments, plans, and more.
Click Generate
With one click, AI generates clinically appropriate content and fills your Cerner fields directly. Review, adjust as needed, and sign your note.
SOAP Note Buddy works with Cerner when accessed through a browser (PowerChart web versions). It does not work with desktop-only Cerner clients that don't run in a browser.
On the iOS and Android apps, Voice Scribe records a visit hands-free and auto-transcribes it into a clinical note, so you can knock out charting faster during a shift. Voice Scribe is part of the Unlimited+ plan.
