EMR A.I. Virtual Scribes, and Physician Burnout: A Short-Term Gain with Future Fallout

Posted by Dike Drummond MD

 

The promise of AI scribes sounds like a dream come true and it will be, just not for long

We are in the early adoption phase at the peak of the hype cycle. The vision of having your computer write the note for you with faster workflows, and more time for patient care is soooo enticing.

But as with any game-changing technology, there’s a catch: it’s a double-edged sword. The leading edge cuts your daily workload magnificently, but the trailing edge—the industry’s inevitable response to your increased productivity—is a clear and obvious danger to physicians in ways we can’t yet imagine.

IN THIS BLOG POST:
  • How the virtual scribe programs are trained and how they will change your work flow.
  • Why they might save you up to 50% of the time you now spend on visit notes.
  • How the industry will respond to this increase in productivity.
  • And why I fear for a future that holds deeper and darker sources of burnout than just the exhaustion of documentation.

Once it's dialed in I fully expect this technology to be able to decrease your total time in the chart by as much as 50% and more.

Get Home Sooner WITHOUT Working Harder

What am I talking about ?

It's usually referred to as a DIGITAL SCRIBE.
It is so much more than that.

A scribe just transcribes your conversation. This new technology leverages the Chat GPT engine's ability to participate in a human conversation by training it on a diet of hundreds of thousands of notes written by physicians in your specialty ...

... so it can listen to your conversation with the patient and then actually WRITE YOUR NOTE FOR YOU.

And it's a shockingly good, bring-tears-to-your-eyes note.

The technology can write notes for in person and virtual visits, in multiple different languages.

And it's ready for you to give it a test drive right now.
