AI Scribe

AI Scribe Pilot Program: Prince Edward Island

Health PEI, in collaboration with the Department of Health and Wellness, IT Shared Services and Canada Health Infoway, has launched a one-year AI Scribe pilot program to advance the use of AI Scribe in primary care and pediatric community-based care settings.  

The pilot supports up to 100 eligible primary care providers and pediatricians using a single AI Scribe solution: Tali AI.

Tali AI was selected through a federal procurement process led by Canada Health Infoway. It is the only pre-qualified solution integrated with PEI’s Provincial EMR system, and it is also the only approved solution for use in Health PEI.

What are AI Scribes?

AI Scribes are artificial intelligence-powered tools that summarize medically relevant conversations with patients and draft documents for health care providers to review. They offer significant potential to reduce administrative burden by automating time-consuming tasks such as documenting patient visits, updating electronic medical records, and summarizing treatment plans – freeing up valuable time for clinicians.

Eligibility

As per Canada Health Infoway requirements, the pilot is open to: 

  • Primary care providers, specifically:
    –  Nurse Practitioners (NPs)
    –  Family Physicians
  • Pediatricians with community-based practices

Other participation requirements include: 

  • Participating in Canada Health Infoway’s AI Scribe Evaluation surveys
  • Adhering to minimum usage standards for the tool  (10 encounters / month)
  • Using official government-issued email address (i.e. @ihis.org address)

Participation

All Tali licenses available through the pilot have been fully allocated, and we are unable to offer additional licenses at this time. Clinicians interested in participating may join the waitlist, which will be used should licenses open up throughout the pilot.

Participation is limited to eligible providers – primary care providers (nurse practitioners and family physicians) and pediatricians with community-based practices – per Canada Health Infoway’s criteria.

Please Note: While other clinicians may benefit from an AI Scribe, this pilot is a first step to inform future expansion. 

PEI Project Phases

To assess the potential of AI Scribe use in primary care and pediatric practices, Health PEI and the Department of Health and Wellness launched the initiative in two phases:

Phase 1 – Testing (Late December 2025 – January 2026):
Small cohort to refine onboarding, support, and patient education.

Phase 2 – Pilot Roll-Out (January 2026 – January 2027):
Remaining licenses assigned; participants onboarded and asked to provide feedback throughout the year.
