Summary

Ambient scribes may help lessen physician workload and cognitive strain, but current evidence is limited and often excludes patient perspective. This multicenter Dutch study found ambient scribing can reduce documentation burden and aid communication, however, further research is needed to address problems identified that affect diagnosis like inaccurate summaries, reluctance in discussing sensitive topics, and impact on clinician reasoning.
