Ambient AI for Provider Well-Being

An EHR-embedded Pragmatic Stepped-wedge Individual Randomized Clinical Trial of Ambient Artificial Intelligence to Improve Provider Well-Being

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using Ambient Artificial Intelligence for provider documentation will enhance provider well-being and improve documentation quality.

Participants will complete their documentation using the Ambient AI software.

Provider documentation of patient visits is a time-consuming activity that extends throughout the workday and often continues outside office hours. This ongoing clerical burden negatively impacts provider well-being, contributing to burnout and job dissatisfaction.

To address these challenges, the researchers propose to test the effectiveness of the Ambient AI tool in improving provider fulfillment and note documentation efficiency. The overarching goal is to leverage AI technology to enhance provider well-being and documentation quality.
