AI scribes may free nurses from paperwork—can they handle more patients?
NCT ID NCT07750600
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether AI-assisted documentation helps nurses in telehealth (phone and chat) handle more patient contacts while improving their experience and note quality. About 64 nurses will alternate between using an AI scribe that drafts clinical notes and standard manual documentation over eight weeks. The study measures productivity, work-time savings, satisfaction, and how often AI-generated notes contain errors or omissions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-assisted clinical documentation (ambient AI scribe, Tandem Health)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, AI-assisted documentation could reduce nurses' paperwork, letting them handle more patient contacts and improving job satisfaction.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early crossover trial, so results may not apply broadly. AI-generated notes may contain errors or omissions that could affect documentation quality.
