Lehigh University’s College of Health is proud to announce the official launch of the Health and Environmental Assessment Laboratory (HEAL) Service Center. Situated in the state-of-the-art Health, Science, and Technology (HST) building, this university shared core facility is designed to be a powerhouse of molecular analysis, providing real-world solutions at the complex intersection of environment and human health.

About The Study: AI scribe adoption was associated with modest decreases in total electronic health record time and documentation time and with a modest increase in weekly visit volume.

A large multi-site study published in JAMA found that AI-powered ambient documentation technologies, or AI scribes, were associated with modest reductions in clinicians’ EHR use (13 minutes/day) and documentation time (16 minutes/day, ~10%), along with a slight increase in productivity. The benefits were most evident in high-frequency users, and are unlikely to fully explain prior reported improvements in burnout, highlighting the need for further research on how these tools reshape clinical workflows.

Today's most advanced artificial intelligence systems lack such bodily mechanisms and a new study by UCLA Health argues that this has significant implications for how these models behave as well as how safe and trustworthy they can become.
