Abstract

This pilot study surveyed palliative medicine residents using an ambient AI scribe to understand its impact on documentation burden. One resident achieved a significant time reduction (p<0.025), while another saw no improvement, highlighting heterogeneous responses to ambient AI in a highly specialized domain.

Clinical implications

Heterogeneous impact on documentation time across two residents; larger cohorts needed for robust conclusions.
