AI Scribe Use Modestly Reduces Clinical Documentation Time

Summary: Doctors are using new artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help write their patient notes. A recent study found that these "AI scribes" save doctors about 16 minutes of paperwork time and let them see about half an extra patient each week. However, the AI didn't cut down on the work doctors take home after hours. Primary care doctors, female doctors, and those who used the AI the most saw the biggest benefits. While it helps a little, experts say it might not be enough to stop doctors from feeling burned out.
