AI tools, like DAX, record doctor-patient conversations and generate written notes, freeing doctors from note-taking during visits. This technology potentially improves the quality of care, reduces documentation time, and alleviates physician burnout. Limitations include transcription errors, omission of crucial medical details, and potential misuse of recorded conversations. Reported benefits include more efficient consultations, accurate notes, and reduced time spent on documentation. Some physicians express concerns about the completeness of the notes and patient privacy. The use and development of such tools, partnered with various EHR platforms, continue.
