2 clicks. 0 training. $65/month. Works with Practice Fusion on day one.
Most AI scribes sell "simplicity" but hand you a 20-tab settings panel. DeepCura is the opposite: the entire setup is one dropdown ("select your EHR → Practice Fusion"), and every patient encounter is just two clicks.
Here is what "two clicks, no training" actually looks like in Practice Fusion:
- ✓Click 1: Start Patient — dictate the encounter or record the patient conversation
- ✓Click 2: Complete — the note auto-populates into the correct SOAP sections (HPI, exam, assessment, plan) ready to paste into Practice Fusion
- ✓Pricing: $65/month — the lowest full-feature AI scribe on the market in 2026
- ✓Setup time: under 60 seconds from sign-up to first note
If you are searching for the best AI scribe for Practice Fusion, the honest answer is: the one you will actually use every day. This guide shows exactly how DeepCura's two-click workflow and Smart Pace Mode solve the #1 reason AI scribes fail in real practices — training friction — and why a lightweight, pastable integration often beats a deep API integration for a cloud EHR like Practice Fusion.
This guide was last updated in April 2026. DeepCura's Practice Fusion integration is a lightweight "paste-in" integration — DeepCura generates the structured SOAP note, you paste it into Practice Fusion's note field. There is no native Practice Fusion API for third-party AI scribes, so this workflow is intentional — and dramatically simpler than deep-API scribes that require IT activation, provider enablement, and per-diagnosis mapping.

Why "Two Clicks" Is the Real Differentiator in 2026
AI scribe adoption has a dirty secret: most providers try one, get frustrated during onboarding, and give up before their second week. The #1 reason is not accuracy — modern AI scribes are all clinically accurate enough. It is training friction: macros to memorize, templates to configure, hot-keys to learn, sections to map, and specialty-specific prompts to tune.
DeepCura's Practice Fusion integration was designed to remove all of that. The workflow is identical to a modern messaging app:
- ✓Sign in (Google SSO or email/password — no SAML, no IT ticket)
- ✓Settings → select Practice Fusion from the EHR dropdown
- ✓Toggle Smart Pace Mode on
- ✓Click Start Patient → speak → click Complete
That is the whole app. The note is waiting for you, formatted into SOAP sections, ready to paste into Practice Fusion's chart.
Smart Pace Mode — The One Toggle That Matters
"Smart Pace Mode" is DeepCura's branding for a simple but critical feature: the AI listens in real-time and waits for natural pauses in your narration instead of cutting off mid-sentence. You can dictate freely, pause to examine the patient, return to narration, and the scribe keeps pace without requiring you to hit Start/Stop repeatedly.
For dictation-heavy workflows in Practice Fusion — which most primary care and urgent care practices default to — this is the single biggest quality-of-life improvement over Dragon, Freed, or Heidi. You talk the way you think, not the way a transcription engine prefers.
The 60-Second Setup
Here is the full setup workflow, timed:
| Step | Action | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sign up at app.deepcura.com/register (Google SSO or email) | 10 sec |
| 2 | Open Settings → EHR | 5 sec |
| 3 | Select Practice Fusion from the EHR dropdown | 5 sec |
| 4 | Enable Smart Pace Mode in the main dashboard | 5 sec |
| 5 | Click Start Patient and speak your first note | 35 sec |
| Total | Sign-up to first finished note | 60 sec |
No IT admin. No FHIR app activation. No per-provider enablement. No training webinar. No "implementation" call.
How the Two-Click Workflow Plays Out in Real Practice
The video demonstration uses a sore-throat visit — the kind of encounter every primary care and urgent care clinician sees 5-10 times per day. Here is what the provider actually does:
Click 1: Start Patient
The provider dictates naturally:
"Patient is a 20-year-old female here for a sore throat that started 3 days ago. She says it hurts more when she swallows and she's also had some mild fatigue, no fever, cough, or runny nose. She's been drinking tea and taking Tylenol, which helps a bit. On exam, throat is red with mild swelling, no pus on the tonsils, no swollen lymph nodes, vitals are normal. Likely viral pharyngitis, doesn't look like strep. Plan is rest, fluids, and continue Tylenol as needed. No antibiotics today. Tell her to come back if symptoms worsen or don't improve in a few days."
Click 2: Complete
DeepCura auto-structures the dictation into a clean SOAP note:
- ✓S (Subjective): 20-year-old female presents with sore throat x 3 days, worse with swallowing, mild fatigue. Denies fever, cough, rhinorrhea. Has been using tea and Tylenol with partial relief.
- ✓O (Objective): Vitals WNL. Oropharynx erythematous with mild swelling. No tonsillar exudate. No cervical lymphadenopathy.
- ✓A (Assessment): Likely viral pharyngitis. Low clinical suspicion for streptococcal infection.
- ✓P (Plan): Supportive care — rest, fluids, continue Tylenol PRN. No antibiotics indicated. Return precautions discussed: worsening or persistence beyond several days warrants reassessment.
Paste into Practice Fusion's note field. Done.
Honest Disclosure: This Is a Lightweight Integration (Intentionally)
We believe in being transparent about engineering decisions. Unlike DeepCura's integrations with athenahealth, Epic, eClinicalWorks, and AdvancedMD — which use native FHIR APIs for bidirectional structured data — DeepCura's Practice Fusion integration is a paste-in workflow, not a native API push.
Here is why, and why it is actually the right design for Practice Fusion users:
Why There Is No Deep API Integration for Practice Fusion
Practice Fusion does not publish a public FHIR API for third-party AI scribes the way Epic, athenahealth, and eClinicalWorks do. Patient data, problem lists, medications, and chart notes are accessible only inside the Practice Fusion web app. There is no official third-party pipeline to push a note, an ICD-10 code, or a prescription order directly into a Practice Fusion chart from an outside application.
This is not a DeepCura limitation — it is a Practice Fusion platform decision. No AI scribe on the market has a native bidirectional API integration with Practice Fusion, because no such API exists for clinical documentation.
Why the Paste Workflow Is Actually Fine (and Often Better)
In deep-API integrations, every feature comes with a cost: per-provider FHIR enablement, IT admin coordination, OAuth token management, per-diagnosis mapping, and frequent "why didn't my note import?" support tickets. The eClinicalWorks integration alone required 2,000+ lines of code and still requires IT to individually enable each provider in App Configuration (the #1 setup failure we see).
For a cloud-native, single-login EHR like Practice Fusion, a paste workflow is:
- ✓Instant — no activation code, no per-provider enablement, no waiting for IT
- ✓Reliable — no silent import failures from ICD-10 descriptor mismatches or parser edge cases
- ✓Transparent — you see the exact note before it enters the chart, so no hidden auto-import bugs
- ✓Cheaper — no $50/month API integration fees (eCW charges this), so the total comes to $65/month flat
You copy the generated note once, paste it into Practice Fusion's note field, and Practice Fusion applies your own template mapping on the receiving end. Two seconds vs. two minutes of IT paperwork.
Pricing: $65/month (Lowest Full-Feature AI Scribe in 2026)
DeepCura for Practice Fusion is $65/month — flat, no tiers, no seat minimums, no API add-on fees. Here is how that compares to the 2026 market:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best AI scribe for Practice Fusion?
For most solo and small-practice Practice Fusion users, DeepCura is the best AI scribe in 2026. It is purpose-built for a two-click, zero-training workflow that matches how Practice Fusion itself feels — cloud-based, simple, no IT overhead. At $65/month, it is also the lowest-priced full-feature AI scribe on the market. For a broader ranking, see our Best AI Medical Scribes in 2026 guide.
Does DeepCura integrate with Practice Fusion?
Yes — with the honest caveat that this is a paste-in integration, not a native FHIR API push. You select Practice Fusion in DeepCura's settings, dictate the encounter, and DeepCura generates a SOAP-formatted note ready to paste into Practice Fusion's note field. This is the same workflow every AI scribe uses for Practice Fusion, because Practice Fusion does not expose a public API for third-party clinical documentation tools.
Why is the Practice Fusion integration different from the eClinicalWorks or Epic integration?
Practice Fusion does not publish a public FHIR API for third-party AI scribes, while eClinicalWorks, Epic, athenahealth, and AdvancedMD do. For those EHRs, DeepCura uses native API integrations to push structured data (ICD-10 codes, medications, allergies, lab orders) directly into the chart. For Practice Fusion, the workflow is paste-based — you copy the generated note and paste it into Practice Fusion's note field. This is actually simpler for most small practices because there is no IT activation or per-provider enablement required.
How much does DeepCura cost for Practice Fusion users?
DeepCura for Practice Fusion costs $65/month — flat rate, no tiers, no add-on API fees. A free trial is available with no credit card required.
How many clicks does it take to complete a note?
Two. Click 1 is "Start Patient" — you then dictate the encounter in natural language (or record a live patient conversation). Click 2 is "Complete" — DeepCura auto-structures the content into SOAP sections (HPI, exam, assessment, plan). Paste the output into Practice Fusion and the encounter is documented.
Do I need to train the AI or learn any macros?
No. DeepCura has zero training requirements, zero macros, and zero templates to configure. Smart Pace Mode listens in real-time and adapts to natural narration pace. The only setting that matters for Practice Fusion users is selecting "Practice Fusion" from the EHR dropdown in Settings — and that is a one-time, 5-second configuration.
What is Smart Pace Mode?
Smart Pace Mode is DeepCura's real-time dictation engine that waits for natural pauses in your narration instead of cutting off mid-sentence. You can dictate freely, pause to examine the patient, return to narration, and the scribe keeps pace without requiring repeated Start/Stop clicks. It is the single most impactful feature for dictation-heavy Practice Fusion workflows.
Can I record a live patient conversation instead of dictating?
Yes. DeepCura supports both ambient recording of live patient conversations and provider dictation. Toggle between modes in the main dashboard. For dictation-heavy practices (most primary care), Smart Pace Mode is optimized for narrative dictation. For ambient visit recording, DeepCura captures the full provider-patient conversation and generates the note from that transcript.
Does DeepCura push notes directly into the Practice Fusion chart?
No — not via API, because Practice Fusion does not publish one for third-party clinical documentation. DeepCura generates a fully structured SOAP note that you paste into Practice Fusion's note field. The paste takes about 2 seconds and gives you full visibility into exactly what enters the chart — no silent import failures, no hidden mapping bugs.
Is DeepCura HIPAA compliant?
Yes. DeepCura is fully HIPAA compliant and provides a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to all covered entities. All data — including encounter audio, generated notes, and Practice Fusion-destined content — is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Audio recordings are processed in real-time and are not stored after note generation is complete.
How does DeepCura compare to Freed AI for Practice Fusion?
Freed AI and DeepCura are both AI scribes, but DeepCura is significantly less expensive ($65/month vs. $99/month), has a purpose-built Practice Fusion EHR mode with Smart Pace Mode, and includes additional features (patient management, an AI receptionist, EHR integrations for deeper systems when you expand). For a detailed head-to-head, see our Freed AI review and our DeepCura vs Freed AI comparison.
How quickly can I get started?
Under 60 seconds. Sign up at app.deepcura.com/register with Google SSO, go to Settings → EHR → Practice Fusion, enable Smart Pace Mode, and click Start Patient. Your first note will be ready to paste before you finish reading this sentence.
Can I use this for specialties beyond primary care?
Yes. While the two-click workflow is especially well-suited to primary care and urgent care on Practice Fusion, DeepCura generates specialty-appropriate notes for cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics, pediatrics, psychiatry, and more. See the full specialty scribe guides for specialty-specific details.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. DeepCura offers a free trial with no credit card required. Sign up at app.deepcura.com/register.
Final Verdict
For Practice Fusion users in 2026, the "best AI scribe" question does not come down to clinical accuracy — every modern scribe is accurate enough. It comes down to whether you will actually use it every day. That is decided by three things: how fast you can set it up, how many clicks it takes per encounter, and how much it costs.
DeepCura wins all three. 60 seconds to set up. Two clicks per encounter. $65/month flat. No IT admin. No FHIR app activation. No per-diagnosis mapping. No templates to configure. Just sign in, select Practice Fusion, toggle Smart Pace Mode, and start charting.
The integration is intentionally lightweight — a paste-in workflow that matches Practice Fusion's own cloud-native, no-overhead philosophy. For solo and small-practice providers on Practice Fusion, that simplicity is the feature.
