Can the Administrative Loads of Physicians be Alleviated by AI-Facilitated Clinical Documentation?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Champions of AI-facilitated clinical documentation have suggested that the emergent technology may decrease the administrative loads of physicians, thereby reducing cognitive burden and forestalling burnout. Explorations of physicians' experiences with automated documentation are critical in evaluating these claims.

Objective

To evaluate physicians' experiences with DAX Copilot (DAXC), a generative AI-facilitated clinical documentation tool.

Design

Semi-structured interviews were conducted in August and September of 2023 with physician-users of DAXC.

Participants

A purposive sample of 12 interviewees, selected from 116 primary care physicians, employed at a multi-site academic learning health system.

Approach

After completing all 12 interviews
