Overview

Simulation study evaluates AI scribes' effect on documentation time in primary care physicians, suggesting time savings.

Key Points

  • To investigate the performance of artificial intelligence scribes and their influence on clinical documentation time.
  • Conducted simulations with 9 primary care physicians performing 4 encounters each with and without AI scribes.
  • Used audio and video recording to assess clinical documentation behaviors during these encounters.
  • Developed a coding scheme to evaluate documentation practices in the simulations.
  • Without AI scribes, documentation occupied 36.3% of the total encounter time; with AI scribes, it dropped to 11.2%.
  • AI scribes achieved a 69.1% reduction in documentation time during simulated encounters.
