# Patient Square: Practice Copilot and Hospital Copilot > Patient Square makes two AI copilots for clinicians. Practice Copilot can use Patient Square EHR as the practice system of record or work alongside an existing EHR. Hospital Copilot can deploy the complete Patient Square HIS/EHR or work alongside an existing HIS/EHR. Patient audio is processed in memory and never stored. ## What each product does ### Practice Copilot (for independent clinics) - Ambient AI scribe: listens during the visit; the clinician does nothing but see the patient. A SOAP note, ICD-10 code suggestions, and a prescription draft are ready when the visit ends. - ICD-10 suggestions and Rx draft are each traceable to the moment in the conversation they came from. - Review-and-sign: nothing is filed or prescribed without the clinician. Every output is a draft. - AI Receptionist: every call answered, appointments booked, 24/7. - eRx: drug, dose, route, and frequency pre-filled from the conversation; nothing sends without a signature. - AI Follow-ups, WhatsApp, scheduling, and Patient Square EHR round out the seven modules. - Record system: use Patient Square EHR or keep an existing EHR. Signed notes can be copied into a web-based EHR or downloaded in the supported export formats. ### Hospital Copilot (for multi-department hospitals) - Everything in Practice Copilot, plus three hospital-only modules. - AI Discharge Summary: drafted from the stay's own record during the stay, reviewed and signed before the family waits. - Claims Management: in the US, documentation-complete claims from day one; in India, TPA and cashless files assembled from the chart, pre-auth to final bill. - Bed / IPD Management: live census, admissions, transfers, and estimated discharges on one board. - One chart from OPD to discharge, readable by every department. - Record system: deploy the complete Patient Square HIS/EHR or keep an existing HIS/EHR and define the workflow during discovery. ## Privacy and compliance - Patient audio is processed in memory and discarded the moment the note is drafted. The recording is never stored; only the note the clinician reviews and signs is kept. - PHI is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). - US: handled to HIPAA standards, with a BAA available. A SOC 2 Type II audit is underway; the report is available on request. - India: handled to DPDP Act 2023 standards, consent-first and purpose-limited. ## Regions - United States: https://patientsquare.com/, HIPAA compliant; existing-record-system deployment is presented first, with Patient Square EHR/HIS available for greenfield buyers. - India: https://patientsquare.com/in/, captures English, Hindi, and 20+ Indian languages (Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada and more) on India-tuned speech models; Patient Square EHR/HIS deployment is presented first, while existing record systems remain supported. ABDM/ABHA integration is on the roadmap. ## Key pages - US landing: https://patientsquare.com/ - US Practice Copilot: https://patientsquare.com/us/products/practice-copilot/ - US Hospital Copilot: https://patientsquare.com/us/products/hospital-copilot/ - US pricing: https://patientsquare.com/us/pricing/ - US security: https://patientsquare.com/us/security/ - US about: https://patientsquare.com/us/about/ - India landing: https://patientsquare.com/in/ - India Practice Copilot: https://patientsquare.com/in/products/practice-copilot/ - India Hospital Copilot: https://patientsquare.com/in/products/hospital-copilot/ - India pricing: https://patientsquare.com/in/pricing/ - India security: https://patientsquare.com/in/security/ - India about: https://patientsquare.com/in/about/ ## Pricing model - Practice Copilot: flat rate per clinician per month, unlimited visits and notes, no per-note metering, no setup fees.
