Ambient Clinical Documentation
AI scribes promise to cut clinicians' note-writing time, and bring consent, accuracy and data retention questions with them.
How we approach it
Assess scribe products on where audio and transcripts are processed and kept, whether the vendor trains on them, and how errors are caught. Set the consent process with patients, require clinician review before a note is filed, and measure error rates on local cases before rollout. Check whether the intended use makes the product a medical device.
Business value
Less documentation time, and no unreviewed notes in the record
