On Friday at the lunch hour, I went through training for Ambience, our new integrated AI scribe. For some reason, I thought this was going to be more involved, but they just showed me the workflow, where the buttons and switches are, and that was it.
And then I got to work. It was jarring at first to be talking with the patient without frantically documenting. At first, I was spending as much time reviewing the note as I would have spent writing it, but within just a few visits, I had a workflow worked out.
Then I did a visit in Spanish and it handled it just fine. I did two HEADSS histories and the machine recognized them and formatted them appropriately.
My life has changed for the better. I’m just amazed.
