Summary of article from MedCity News, by Katie Adams:
Primary care physicians are optimistic about AI’s potential to enhance care delivery efficiency, particularly through automated dictation and scribing tools, which have significantly reduced administrative burdens. A survey by Elation Health revealed that nearly 70% of primary care clinicians believe AI will be crucial for future healthcare efficiency. The key advantage of AI is its ability to decrease “pajama time,” allowing physicians to spend more time with patients. Phill Tornroth from Elation Health emphasized that AI should augment, not replace, clinicians by integrating seamlessly into their workflows. This approach aims to enhance the physician-patient relationship, which remains central to effective primary care.
