Ambient documentation technology in clinician experience of documentation burden and burnout (21 August 2025)

Summary

This study explored the question: is the use of ambient documentation technology (ADT) associated with changes in clinician experience of documentation burden and burnout?

Findings  of this survey study of 1430 clinicians from 2 academic medical centre systems, showed that ADT was associated with reductions in burnout and improved well-being scores compared with baseline.

These findings suggest that ADT may hold promise for enhancing clinicians’ perceived documentation-related well-being and reducing burnout.
