Key Highlights
- Ambient AI use associated with decreased time spent documenting notes during clinical hours (source needed).
- Significant decline in mean time spent on notes during the first month of use (source needed).
- Sustained decline in after-hours documentation time observed (source needed).
- Immediate increase in mean RVUs following active ambient AI use (source needed).
- Study involved 1547 clinicians with 16,149 observations (source needed).
