New JMIR MedInform: AI Scribes in #health Care: Balancing Transformative Potential With Responsible Integration
AI Scribes in #health Care: Balancing Transformative Potential With Responsible Integration
The administrative burden of clinical documentation contributes to #healthcare practitioner burnout and diverts valuable time away from direct #patient care. Ambient artificial intelligence (#AI) (AI) scribes, also called #digital scribes or AI scribes, are emerging as one promising solution, given their potential to automate clinical note generation and reduce clinician workload. Ambient AI scribes, specifically those built on a large language model (LLM), are emerging as one technology to facilitate real-time clinical documentation tasks. This potentially transformative development has a foundation on longer-standing AI-based transcription software, which use automated speech recognition and/or natural language processing. Recent studies have highlighted the potential impact of ambient AI scribes on clinician well-being, workflow efficiency, documentation quality, user experience, and #patient interaction. Limited evidence so far indicates that ambient AI scribes are associated with reduced clinician burnout, lower cognitive task load, and significant time savings in documentation, particularly in after-hours #ehr (EHR) work. One consistently reported benefit is the improvement in the #patient-physician interaction, as physicians feel more present during a clinical encounter. However, these benefits are counterbalanced by persisting concerns regarding the accuracy, consistency, language use, and style of AI-generated notes. Studies noting errors, omissions, or hallucinations, caution that diligent clinician oversight will be necessary. The user experience is also heterogeneous, with benefits varying by specialty and individual workflow. Also, there are concerns about ethical and legal issues, algorithmic bias, the potential for long-term "cognitive debt" from over-reliance on AI, and even the potential loss of physician autonomy. Additional pragmatic concerns include security, privacy, integration and interoperability, user acceptance and training, and the cost-effectiveness of adoption at scale. Finally, limited studies describe adoption or evaluations of these technologies by non-physician clinicians and #health professionals. While ambient AI scribes and AI-driven documentation technologies are promising as a potentially practice-changing tool, there are many questions remaining. Key issues persist, including responsible deployment with the goal of ensuring ambient AI scribes produce clinical documentation that supports more efficient, equitable, and #patient-centered care. To advance our collective understanding and address key issues, JMIR #medical #informatics is launching a call for papers for a new section on “Ambient AI Scribes and AI-driven Documentation Technologies.” As editors, we look forward to the opportunity to advance the science and understanding of these fields through publishing high-quality and rigorous scholarly work in this new section of JMIR #medical #informatics.

Thinking about Clinical Informatics? UCSF PD Raman Khanna posted a primer on the specialty, and what a CI fellow can accomplish

#informaticsSky #MLsky @amiainformatics.bsky.social
A quick reminder to all doctors--there's this great field called clinical informatics. What is clinical informatics? To use the best definition, from Charles Friedman--it's to MAKE this equation true: A doctor with a computer > doctor alone.

Sharing social media sentiment results from the @amiainformatics.bsky.social Clinical Informatics Conference 2025 Fellows Retreat. #informaticssky
⭐ Most fellows described themselves as "lurkers"
⭐ Dr @glaucomflecken.bsky.social was found to be most popular social media hero for our fellows!

Spoke to the @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social REI ObGyn MedEd Forum on my passion topic of reproductive health & clinical informatics.
As clinical informaticists, our priority is to protect patient data while ensuring it is usable for safe, effective care. #obgyn #reproductivehealth #informaticssky

JAMA Insights: More than 30% of US adults have low health literacy, which affects their ability to understand and use health information, necessitating improved communication strategies from clinicians and health care systems. https://ja.ma/3XR8AVA #MedSky
Addressing Health Literacy
This JAMA Insights discusses personal and organizational health literacy and offers recommendations on how clinicians and health care institutions can improve their patients’ health literacy skills.

I am SO proud of my team this week. When overhead paging went down at the hospital they rigged a #Telehealth solution to save the day. Thankful to have a #Creative team that takes Initiative and thinks way out of the box! #VirtualCare #InformaticsSky

The @medsky.social catalog is up and running! One of the primary goals for the labeler is to serve as a tool for anyone to help refine their own #Medsky feeds. That’s what these lists do.

You can find them on the lists tab of the account but you can use this page so you’re not scrolling forever.
Published a label catalog for @medsky.social. It includes links to the posts for each label, as well as a link to the curation list for each label.

The lists are auto-updated with everyone who has the selected label, and you can use them to create Medsky feeds on 3rd party apps like @skyfeed.app.
