aceAmbient Artificial Intelligent Scribes in Oncology: Impact on Clinician Experience and Documentation Burden
PURPOSE Ambient artificial intelligence (AI) scribes, widely implemented to reduce clinician burden and dissatisfaction, are not optimized for oncology. We evaluated this technology at-scale at a high-volume cancer center. METHODS This prospective mixed-methods study used surveys, electronic health record (EHR), and utilization data to assess adoption, burden, and satisfaction with an ambient AI scribe that was implemented from June to September 2025. Descriptive statistics categorized clinicians as adopters (3+…
Among oncology clinicians who completed both surveys, high or excessive note-writing time fell after the AI scribe rollout, and most postrollout respondents said they would recommend it.
Despite enterprise-wide implementation and training, only about one in five oncology clinicians used the AI scribe, and measured note-closing and after-hours documentation changes were small or inconsistent.
Adoption was low and survey samples were small (45 paired respondents, 77 postrollout), and the authors say adoption barriers and tool optimization still need study, so the results may not represent all oncology clinicians.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1819 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.
