Patient Attitudes Toward Ambient Voice Technology: Preimplementation Patient Survey in an Academic Medical Center

This patient survey showed that respondents are generally open to the use of an AI scribe program for EHR documentation to allow the clinician to focus on the patient during the actual encounter rather than the computer. Providing patient education and obtaining consent before using AI are important components to gain patient trust. Caution about the results is appropriate, given the low response rate and nonrepresentative profile.
