Scribble vs TORTUS
Tortus says Royal Devon was the first NHS trust to integrate it fully with Epic, and describes its work as the NHS's first Epic and Cerner ambient integrations, so an NHS trust is its buyer. The vendor says it files notes, letters and referrals into the record after the clinician approves and suggests clinical codes alongside. No current price is published. A UK G-Cloud 14 pricing document valid to March 2025 listed GBP 30,000 excluding VAT for a three-month pilot with unlimited licenses and GBP 15,000 for up to 100.
Scribble's buyer is a US clinic that records from a desktop browser or phone and wants notes in one of 30+ specialty templates, with the option to regenerate a note without re-recording. IKS Health, which works from Texas and Navi Mumbai, publishes no price either. A trust and a US clinic are not choosing between the two.
