Examining the Impact of Ambient AI Scribes on Efficiency, Physician Wellbeing,and Patient Experience

UCSD Health has been at the forefront in studying and implementing new technologies in the healthcare space, particularly when it comes to technologies related to artificial intelligence. UCSD was among the first in the country to integrate GPT-4 in electronic medical record messaging in order to study the affects on physician experience and physician messaging time burdens. USCD is also one of the first in the country to implement AI technologies in the delivery of care to assist in early detection of sepsis. This culture of openness to innovation and to better understanding how technological improvements can improve patient care and physician experience is exemplified by the recently inaugurated UCSD Center for Health Innovation and by the recent hiring of UCSD’s first chief health AI officer.
