Summary
Although AI scribes have shown significant benefits in healthcare, expectations need to be tempered, according to Spender Dorn, Vice Chair & Professor of Medicine at UNC. The value needs to extend beyond documentation to effectively integrate with broader clinical processes, he said, citing a recent NJEM article. The analysis of DAX Copilot's impact raises important considerations about the need for robust evaluation of AI tools in clinical practice, as merely adopting technology does not guarantee improvements in efficiency or productivity among healthcare providers.
