Timely editorial from @NatureMedicine on the evidence we should be demanding for AI tool integration into health care. nature.com/articles/s4159… #ACCCVT

While documentation burden is reduced using ambient AI scribing technology, the question of note quality remains unresolved. Check out this study utilizing simulated cases in a primary care context. ⬇️ acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/AN… #ACCCVT

Integration of AI can dramatically improve the #APP's experience of providing care and yet we are still struggling to see full adoption of these technologies. Where are the APP champions in this endeavor? beckershospitalreview.com/healthcare-inf…

"use of an (AI) scribe tool to draft . . .visit summaries was associated with greater clinician efficiency, lower perceived mental burden of documentation, and greater sense of engagement with patients." Does this translate to better documentation quality? jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

"AI scribe adopters spent 13 minutes fewer using the EHR in total and 16 minutes fewer on documentation per 8 hours of scheduled patient care." This technology saves time and yet we are still seeing limited adoption by clinicians. Why? jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

#AI scribe adoption across 5 academic centers was associated with modest reductions in EHR and documentation time, plus a slight increase in weekly visit volume, especially for primary care and female clinicians. ja.ma/3NzDzUo
