- AI scribe adoption led to a modest reduction in total EHR time (13.4 fewer minutes) and documentation time (16.0 fewer minutes) per 8-hour scheduled patient period.
- Adoption of AI scribes resulted in a modest increase in weekly visit volume (0.49 additional visits), while EHR time outside work hours did not significantly change.
- The greatest benefits from AI scribe adoption were observed among primary care specialists, advanced practice clinicians, female clinicians, and frequent users.
- This multisite study involved 8581 clinicians across 5 US academic institutions, showing variations in outcomes based on clinician characteristics.
