Evaluating Ambient AI Scribes

[Chris Johnston]

Saw this article and thought it might be of interest:
Evaluation of an Ambient Artificial Intelligence Documentation Platform for Clinicians

Amongst the results, one that caught my eye was:
Mean (SD) time in notes per appointment significantly decreased from 6.2 (4.0) to 5.3 (3.5) minutes (P < .001), with a bigger decrease for female vs male clinicians (8.1 [3.9] to 6.7 [3.6] minutes vs 4.7 [3.5] to 4.2 [3.1] minutes; P = .001).

So that after the implementation of AI, despite the bigger decrease, female clinicians were still spending on average significantly more time on each patient note than male clinicians had been before the implementation.

The study has a number of limitations that may mean it's not generalizable but still - hmm, food for thought.
