aceReal-World Evidence Synthesis of Digital Scribes Using Ambient Listening and Generative Artificial Intelligence for Clinician Documentation Workflows: Rapid Review
Background: As physicians spend up to twice as much time on electronic health record tasks as on direct patient care, digital scribes have emerged as a promising solution to restore patient-clinician communication and reduce documentation burden-making it essential to study their real-world impact on clinical workflows, efficiency, and satisfaction. Objective: This study aimed to synthesize evidence on clinician efficiency, user satisfaction, quality, and practical barriers associated with the use of digital scr…
Clinicians using ambient listening generative AI digital scribes reported decreased documentation time and improved engagement in real-world academic and outpatient settings by April 2025.
Use of the same ambient AI scribes was associated with increased length of notes and no change in physician productivity measured by billing metrics.
Available real-world evidence base is very small and methodologically limited, with only 6 studies meeting criteria and falling short of standardized evaluation frameworks.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0330 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
