Psychiatric Documentation and Management in Primary Care With Artificial Intelligence Scribe Use

In this retrospective cohort study using a matched case-control design examining outpatient primary care notes, incorporation of AI ambient scribes in primary care was associated with greater levels of neuropsychiatric symptom documentation but lesser likelihood of documented management of psychiatric symptoms. Further study will be required to determine whether these changes are associated with differential outcomes.

Abstract

In this retrospective cohort study using a matched case-control design examining outpatient primary care notes, incorporation of AI ambient scribes in primary care was associated with greater levels of neuropsychiatric symptom documentation but lesser likelihood of documented management of psychiatric symptoms. Further study will be required to determine whether these changes are associated with differential outcomes.
