Objective:

To evaluate the association of a fully deployed AI medical scribe on clinical documentation time and clinician experience in primary and secondary care across multiple specialties.

Approach:

• Study Design: A mixed methods retrospective observational analysis of clinician survey responses and operational note metadata.
• Ethical Considerations: The study involved analysis of deidentified, aggregated survey data, thus not requiring ethical approval.

Key Findings:

• AI medical scribes can potentially reduce documentation burden and improve clinician workflow.
• The effectiveness of AI-assisted clinical documentation varies across clinical specialties and workflows.
• The AI medical scribe used in the study complies with EU Medical Device Regulation and GDPR.

Interpretation:

Limitations:

• Evidence from European countries regarding AI medical scribes remains limited.
• The study did not involve direct patient-level data collection.

Conclusion:
