Enes Erul, Oncology Fellow at Ankara University, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Published on April 1 in JAMA, this multisite study provides timely evidence that AI may help physicians save time and support more effective patient care.
Adoption of AI-powered scribes was associated with:
- 13.4 fewer minutes of total EHR time
- 16.0 fewer minutes of documentation time
- 0.49 additional weekly visits
The greatest benefits were seen among primary care clinicians, advanced practice clinicians, female clinicians, and higher-frequency users.
This is not about replacing physicians. It is about reducing documentation burden, protecting clinician time, and creating more room for patient care.
Importantly, after hours EHR time did not significantly change overall, but this is still meaningful real world evidence that AI can help clinicians work more efficiently.
Doctors using AI are not doing less medicine they are creating more space for real medicine.”
