AI Scribes Show Promise, But Usage Disparities Raise Concerns in Healthcare

April 6, 2025

Joshua Liu, CEO of SeamlessMD, discusses insights from The Permanente Medical Group, Inc. regarding the implementation of AI Scribes after one year. While 72% of over 10,000 physicians used the AI Scribe at least once, only 34% engaged with it in 100 or more patient encounters, indicating a reliance on a small group of high users, termed "High Users," who accounted for 89% of total usage. The highest adoption rates were seen among mental health (42%), primary care (32%), and emergency medicine (32%) providers. This data prompts a reevaluation of the pricing model for AI Scribes, suggesting a potential shift toward enterprise licenses rather than per-user fees.
