An ambient documentation technology (ADT), which develops artificial intelligence-drafted clinical notes from clinician-patient conversations, reduces burnout and improves perceived documentation-related well-being for U.S. clinicians.
The rearch form Mass General Brigham in Somerville, Massachusetts examined the prevalence of ADT use and its association with clinicians’ experience of documentation burden and burnout before and after use in a survey study including clinicians. The proportion of MGB clinicians reporting burnout decreased from 50.6 to 29.4 percent at 42 days and from 52.6 to 30.7 percent at 84 days.
There was an improvement in the proportion of Emory clinicians reporting a positive impact of their documentation practice on well-being from 1.6 to 32.3 percent.
Clinicians found improved joy in practice with ADT use and saw opportunities for improved ADT functionality based on a qualitative analysis of free-text survey comments.
