OmniMD AI Scribe vs TORTUS
OmniMD names five US-market EHRs: Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks and Allscripts. TORTUS says its Epic and Cerner integrations run at NHS trusts such as Royal Devon. It adds that its X-on telephony link reaches 3,500 GP surgeries, and it claims UKCA Class IIa status as a medical device.
Neither shows a current price. OmniMD publishes none, and the $100 to $400 per provider per month in its FAQ describes the market. TORTUS's only public figure is an expired G-Cloud pilot at GBP 15,000 excluding VAT for three months and up to 100 licenses. OmniMD advertises 98.65% accuracy with no study behind it, and its HITRUST and SOC 2 badges describe alignment rather than a report.
OmniMD lists no UK record system, no MHRA status and no NHS deployment, so it loses for an NHS trust or a UK GP surgery. For a US practice the gap sits on TORTUS's side, since it states no HIPAA, SOC 2 or BAA position, which a US group needs to ask about.
