Physicians are testing tools that listen to conversations and create written notes, freeing them to focus on patients and easing documentation burdens. The technology is evolving to address limitations. Eric Poon, MD, MPH, admits that during appointments with his patients he’s “a bit of a chatterbox.” As a result, he says, “I always run late.” Over the past several months, however, Poon has been finishing his clinical schedule on time “for the first time in my life,” and the quality of his conversations with patients has improved. The main reason, he says, is an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that records the conversations and produces written notes.
