Use of ambient AI scribes was tied to a significant drop in clinician burnout after one month, a study published Oct. 2 in JAMA Network Open found.
The quality improvement study examined 263 physicians and nonphysician providers across six health systems using an ambient AI scribe in ambulatory settings. Researchers found burnout rates fell from 51.9% to 38.8% after 30 days of use..
Participants also saw improvements in cognitive task load, after-hours documentation, patient focus and urgent care access, the study authors said.
