Assessing the Efficacy and Impact of Ambient AI Scribes in Healthcare

Sponsor: University of Saskatchewan

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the impacts of ambient AI scribes on the workload and burnout in physicians who see patients in a clinic setting at least twice in a week, as well as the impacts on patient-physician interaction. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the impact of ambient AI scribe use on physician workload and burnout? * What is the impact of ambient AI scribe use on quality of patient-physician interaction? Researchers will compare the group of physicians using the ambient AI scribes to the group not using ambient AI scribes to see if there are any significant differences. Participants randomly assigned to Group A will make use of the AI scribe and participants randomly assigned to Group B will not use any AI scribe for the 10 working day duration of the study. They will be asked to complete a survey assessing workload and burnout immediately prior to the commencement of the study and at the end of each week of the study or 5 full working days for part time physicians. They will also invite their patients to complete a survey assessing their experience after each clinical interaction.
