In 2020, right when Jane Baude was starting her Ph.D. research at UC Santa Barbara, she learned that a critical component  of her experiment — the gel needed to grow and test mammary epithelial cells — wouldn’t be available for nearly a year because of pandemic-related production issues.

About The Study: This multicenter quality improvement study found that use of an ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribe platform was associated with a significant reduction in burnout, cognitive task load, and time spent documenting, as well as the perception that it could improve patient access to care and increase attention on patient concerns in an ambulatory environment. These findings suggest that AI may help reduce administrative burdens for clinicians and allow more time for meaningful work and professional well-being.
