Nabla vs OmniMD AI Scribe
Nabla was one of two scribes in a randomized trial of 238 physicians, published in NEJM AI in December 2025. Its users cut time in note by 9.5% against usual care (p=.02), used the tool in about 29.5% of visits, and about 15% of the physicians offered either scribe never used one. OmniMD advertises 98.65% accuracy and 4.15 minutes saved, with no study or method behind them.
A procurement committee at an Epic health system gets published trial data from Nabla, and a partner embedding a scribe gets the Nabla Connect API. OmniMD suits a 20-provider cardiology or behavioral health group on Allscripts, eClinicalWorks or the OmniMD EHR. It sells standalone and says most practices are live within 48 to 72 hours of contract signing. Nabla bills monthly per authorized user in euros excluding VAT with no list price, so a practice that wants a number first gets none there. OmniMD cites a market range of $100 to $400 per provider per month that is not its own quote. A committee that asks OmniMD for independent evidence will come away with vendor testimonials.
