DeepScribe vs TORTUS
A US community oncology group on OncoEMR or iKnowMed has an easy call in DeepScribe, which is built for oncology and reached from inside those records. It publishes no price. Third-party estimates put it at about $350 to $500 per provider per month plus a one-time setup fee.
TORTUS sells to the NHS. Its site reports Epic and Cerner integrations, a telephone clinical hub deployment at the London Ambulance Service and UKCA Class IIa status, all vendor claims. Its public pricing is a pair of expired G-Cloud pilot fees, excluding VAT: GBP 30,000 for three months with unlimited licenses and GBP 15,000 for three months with up to 100.
TORTUS lists UKCA Class IIa and ISO 13485 but no HIPAA, SOC 2 or BAA, so the US oncology group is DeepScribe's buyer. An English trust would meet DeepScribe's Epic integration only as a linked page, while its confirmed access is OncoEMR and iKnowMed. DeepScribe shows a KLAS score of 98.8 on its own homepage, and the NHS England evaluation of TORTUS across nine sites was co-run with TORTUS.
