About Script Scribe

The concept of Script Scribe is the brainchild of practicing orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Stephen Appleton. Recognizing the need for accurate prescription tracking under time constraints and for a simple to use method of prescription data acquisition of controlled medications, Script Scribe was developed in 2016. The purpose of Script Scribe is twofold: to protect the patient by allowing for a complete, accessible record of potentially abused prescription medications and to empower prescribers of these medications by allowing them to have the most up to date information of their prescription records at their fingertips via their mobile device.
